India’s External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, is set to embark on a two-day visit to South Africa starting February 20, 2025, to attend the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (FMM). The visit underscores India’s commitment to global diplomacy and strengthening ties with G20 nations.
Strengthening Global South Representation
The G20 FMM, hosted by South Africa—currently the G20 chair—will focus on pressing global issues, including economic recovery, climate change, and geopolitical stability. According to India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Jaishankar’s participation will reinforce India’s engagement with G20 countries and enhance the voice of the Global South in key international discussions.
Bilateral Meetings on the Agenda
Apart from the main G20 meeting, Jaishankar is expected to hold several bilateral discussions with foreign ministers from other nations on the sidelines of the summit. These meetings will likely cover trade, security cooperation, and regional stability.
India-South Africa Relations in Focus
Jaishankar’s visit also highlights India’s strong diplomatic relations with South Africa, a key partner in BRICS and other multilateral forums. Both countries continue to collaborate on economic development, defense, and digital transformation.
As global leaders gather in Johannesburg, India’s active participation in the G20 discussions is expected to shape international policies and promote the interests of emerging economies.
