Modi Attends First African G20 Summit Amidst US Boycott
Johannesburg, South Africa – November 21, 2025 – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Johannesburg today for a three-day visit to attend the historic first G20 summit held on African soil. Before his departure, Modi stated that he would represent India’s vision of global unity and cooperation, promoting its philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (One Earth, One Family, One Future).
The summit, however, is marked by significant absences. U.S. President Donald Trump is boycotting the event, citing unsubstantiated claims of Afrikaner persecution and clashing with South Africa’s agenda. Chinese leader Xi Jinping will also not be in attendance.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has responded defiantly to the U.S. boycott, stating that the country will not be bullied and that it will continue to prioritize development issues for Africa and the Global South, which is expected to be a key focus of this historic summit. Indian officials have indicated that they will ensure these matters are “highlighted.”
