Reminder: Online Media Accreditation: The 11th G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit (P20)

Parliament, Monday, 11 August 2025 – The Parliament of the Republic of South Africa will host the 11th G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit (P20), a gathering of Speakers and Presiding Officers from Group of Twenty (G20) member countries, at Arabella Hotel in Kleinmond outside Cape Town, from 29 September to 3 October 2025.

The 11th P20 Summit will be held under the theme: “Harnessing Parliamentary Diplomacy for the Realisation of Global Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability.” The summit programme will be preceded by the 2nd P20 Meeting of Women Parliamentarians and the P20 Young Parliamentarians Conference, which will take place concurrently at Arabella Hotel from 29 to 30 September 2025.

South Africa took over the annual rotational presidency of the G20 from 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025. P20 summits play a crucial role in bringing a parliamentary perspective to global governance by raising awareness, building political support for international commitments and ensuring their effective implementation at the national level.

The summit will act as a platform to promote shared responsibility and historical accountability, while fostering new partnerships for Africa’s sustainable development and racial justice. The P20 will play a key role in establishing and strengthening existing collaborations between South Africa and other African nations, as well as with countries worldwide, through the promotion of policy and legislative initiatives that will positively influence the global agenda.
