On November 17, during the inaugural edition of Global Citizen in Brazil, the Communiqué was presented to South African authorities. On this occasion, the president Cyril Ramaphosa, and the minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, received the document.
In the gathering with president Ramaphosa, Iuri Rosario, CEBRI’s project coordinator for T20 Brasil introduced the Communiqué and the Implementation Roadmaps, an initiative led by the T20 Brasil Organizing Committee. These roadmaps seek to bridge actionable pathways to implement the recommendations developed by the T20 Brasil and initially presented to G20 authorities during the Midterm Conference, in July.
As South Africa prepares to assume the G20 presidency, the moment served to strengthen Brazil-South Africa relations and reaffirm both countries’ commitment to continue working in a common ground as concerns to Think20.
The T20 Brasil Organizing Committee, formed by the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), the Alexandre de Gusmão Foundation (FUNAG), and the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) hands over the T20 to its South African counterparts, composed by the Institute For Global Dialogue (IGD), the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation/University of Johannesburg (IPATC/UJ) and the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA).
Brazil and South Africa remain aligned to promote an inclusive global agenda, connecting G20 recommendations to regional and global priorities, and seeking to achieve sustainable and just outcomes.
