Prime Minister Narendra Modi begins a three-day visit to Johannesburg, South Africa, to attend the G20 Leaders’ Summit. This trip marks his fourth official visit to South Africa, following a bilateral visit in 2016 and attendance at the BRICS summits in 2018 and 2023.
In his departure statement ahead of his visit to the Republic of South Africa, the Prime Minister said,’ I am visiting the Republic of South Africa from 21-23 November 2025 at the invitation of H.E. Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, to attend the 20th G20 Leaders’ Summit being held in Johannesburg under South Africa’s Presidency. This will be a particularly special Summit, as it will be the first G20 Summit held in Africa. During India’s G20 Presidency in 2023, the African Union became a member of the G20′.
Prime Minister further said, ‘The Summit will be an opportunity to discuss key global issues. The theme of this year’s G20 has been ‘Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability’, by which South Africa has carried forward the outcomes from the previous Summits held in New Delhi, India and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I will present India’s perspective at the Summit in line with our vision of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ and ‘One earth, One Family and One future.’
