Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on December 12. A reporter from Pengpai News asked. After taking over the G20 presidency this month, the US publicly stated that it will not invite South Africa to participate in the 2026 G20 summit and cooperation within the G20 framework. What comments does the Chinese side have on this? Guo Jiakun said that South Africa successfully hosted the G20 summit in Johannesburg last month, and the international community gave it high praise. The G-20 has long insisted on solidarity, cooperation and equal consultation. South Africa is a founding member of the G20. It has attended previous G20 summits and has played an important role within the G20 for a long time. “China supports South Africa's continued participation in G20 cooperation and looks forward to working with all G20 members, including South Africa, to contribute to defending multilateralism, promoting world economic growth, and improving global economic governance.” Guo Jiakun said.
