Let us leave no nation behind, urges Ramaphosa
Cape Argus
|November 24, 2025
PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa officially closed the G20 Leaders' Summit in Johannesburg yesterday with an appeal to world leaders to confront global challenges "together" and to ensure that "no one is left behind" as the world works towards shared prosperity.
Delivering his final remarks, Ramaphosa said the first G20 summit hosted on African soil had placed urgent global priorities at the centre of discussions.
He said: “Together, we must accelerate progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the Pact for the Future.
“We have laid the foundation of solidarity; now we must build the walls of justice and the roof of prosperity. Let us move forward together...
“Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind.”
Ramaphosa thanked G20 members, invited nations and international organisations “for the steadfast support you have shown throughout South Africa's G20 Presidency,” saying their commitment had been vital in reaffirming the G20 as the premier forum for international economic cooperation.
