Cape Town Conversation 2024 II Diminishing Distances: From Cape Sao Roque to the Cape of Good Hope

The primacy of the Global South as a geopolitical and geo-economic actor has been underlined by successive G20 presidencies, from Indonesia to India to Brazil, and with South Africa now taking the mantle. Yet the agenda of global governance reform—essential to rebalance international institutions and reflect the realities of the 21st century—remains incomplete. However, despite geographic distances, the Global South is brought together by much larger and tangible concerns. For the Global South, peace and development are paramount interests: but multilateral cooperation is yet to deliver tangible results in this field. In such a chaotic international system, how can we ensure continuity in issues between the consecutive Global South presidencies of the G20? What could be the specific areas where South Africa could lead a more action-oriented charge on common development issues? What policy gaps persist in the G20 and how can they be filled? How can the AU be better engaged?
