South Africa – G20 envoys have reached a preliminary agreement on a draft summit declaration. This progress was achieved despite the United States boycotting the final round of talks. Diplomatic sources confirmed that the new text reflects an attempt to achieve partial consensus among participating nations. The focus was on critical economic and development issues.
Sources indicated that the draft outlines cooperation in addressing global challenges, including inflation, market stability, and the energy transition. The draft takes into account the differing priorities of both large and small nations.
This move is seen as an indication of the G20’s ability to make progress on key issues, even in the absence of one of its most powerful members. The door remains open for final amendments before the official declaration is adopted.
