Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday embarked on a three-day visit to South Africa to attend the first G20 summit being held in Africa. Modi will attend the summit from November 21 to 23, marking a significant milestone as the first G20 summit held on the African continent. This will be PM Modi's fourth official visit to South Africa, following his bilateral visit in 2016 and his attendance at the two BRICS summits in 2018 and 2023.

During his stay in Johannesburg, the prime minister will also attend the sixth IBSA Summit on the sidelines of the G20. "I will present India's perspective at the Summit in line with our vision of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' and 'One earth, One Family and One future'," Modi said in his departure statement. The prime minister will also interact with the Indian diaspora in South Africa, which is one of the largest outside India.
