G20 Summit LIVE Updates: G20 Leaders Arrive in South Africa | Live from the opening plenary session of the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa | G20 summit in South Africa: Who’s attending and what’s on the agenda | CNBC TV18
Live as G20 leaders arrive to the venue in Nasrec, a suburb in Johannesburg South Africa for day 1 of the two-day G20 Leaders’ summit. U.S. President Donald Trump has said that no U.S. government officials would be attending the summit over his claims that the Afrikaner white minority there is being violently persecuted, claims that have been widely rejected.
World leaders are gathering in Johannesburg, South Africa’s economic capital, this weekend for the annual Group of 20 (G20) leaders’ summit – the first ever to be held in an African country amid a boycott by the United States over widely discredited claims that the host country mistreats white people.
About 42 countries and institutions will be represented at the meeting that starts on Saturday, but the US, under President Donald Trump – who has condemned South Africa’s position as host – will be conspicuously absent.
The grouping originally comprised 19 countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkiye, the United Kingdom, and the US), plus the European Union as the 20th entity. Since 2023, the African Union has been a member, too. Combined, they represent 85 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) and two-thirds of the world’s population, according to the G20.
South Africa has held the presidency since November 2024 and will hand over to the US on November 30, 2025. This weekend’s meeting will take place over two days from Saturday, November 22, at Johannesburg’s 150,000 square-metre Nasrec Expo Centre, the country’s largest convention centre.
Some of the most notable names expected at the summit include: China’s Premier Li Qiang, French President Emmanuel Macron, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Turkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

How dare you boycott Trump the greatest leader in the world?
A true caring about America POTUS should be here in Africa. POTUS statement about white.persecution in Africa is not,…news flash….the only disagreements in the world. Shame on him . Diplomacy is not in any administration vocabulary and that is horrid. We talk w others to work things out not bully.
It would be more informative to include the name and country of leaders as they walk in.
