Get ready—this November 2025, the G20 Leaders' Summit lands on African soil for the very first time! 🌍✨
We caught up with Sindisiwe Chikunga, South Africa's Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, in an exclusive interview with CGTN's Cui Yingjie. She believes this is a golden opportunity for the Global South to amplify its voice, especially the voices of women and young people.
Chikunga highlights three pillars that should drive the Summit's agenda:
- 🤱 Care economy: 'We need policies that recognize and value unpaid care work,' she says.
- 💰 Financial inclusion: 'Access to banking and credit can unlock potential for millions across Africa and beyond.'
- ✊ Fight against gender-based violence: 'Every woman deserves safety and dignity—no one should be left behind.'
For Chikunga, solidarity, equality and sustainability aren't just buzzwords—they're a roadmap to a fairer global order. With young leaders and activists at the table, the Summit could spark real change: better jobs, safer communities and stronger economies.
As the world watches, Africa's G20 moment is more than a first—it's a promise of a future where every country, every woman and every young person counts. Let's make it happen! 🌟
