As world leaders gather in Johannesburg for the 20th G20 Summit, the Chinese premier Li Qiang delivered a rallying call for greater global teamwork. Speaking ahead of the summit’s second and third sessions, scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 29-30), he stressed the need for unity to face shared challenges.
"Now more than ever, we must strengthen our collective efforts to address economic, health and climate issues," Li said, highlighting that no country can go it alone. His appeal comes as tensions over trade and geopolitical competition continue to test multilateral cooperation.
The G20 Summit, which kicked off earlier this week, brings together finance ministers, entrepreneurs and policymakers from the world’s major economies. In Johannesburg, discussions will range from sustainable development to digital transformation and inclusive growth.
Li’s message of solidarity resonated with young professionals and students watching the summit unfold online. 🌍🤝 "We need open markets and shared innovation to lift everyone," described one attendee at a side event.
As the G20 progresses into its busiest days, all eyes will be on how leaders translate words into action. With the next sessions around the corner, the stakes are high: delivering practical solutions that can build trust and drive global progress in 2026 and beyond.
