Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan has arrived in Johannesburg, South Africa, to participate in the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, themed 'Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainable Development.' The gathering, hosted by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, takes place against a backdrop of complex geopolitical tensions, notably the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine.

In addition to these urgent issues, South Africa aims to address priorities such as financing efforts to mobilize resources for countries affected by climate-related disasters.

The agenda includes discussions on enhancing capabilities for climate change adaptation and addressing the debt burdens of developing nations by seeking to extend and broaden the scope of debt relief initiatives for low-income countries.

The G20 meeting also intends to promote reform of international institutions to ensure they are more representative and effective, specifically regarding the structure of the United Nations and the international financial systems.

Other critical topics set for discussion include the current global geopolitical landscape, food security challenges, economic obstacles, and the necessity for enhanced international cooperation to foster peace and security.

This G20 meeting marks a significant occasion as it is the first of its kind hosted on the African continent, featuring participation from various foreign ministers and officials from the member countries, including those from Russia and Saudi Arabia.

The G20 comprises nations that collectively represent approximately 85% of the world's GDP, more than 75% of global trade, and about two-thirds of the global population, underscoring its significance as a major international platform.
