Ramaphosa arrives in Germany for G7 summit
President Cyril Ramaphosa has arrived in Bavaria in Germany for the G7 summit.
The Group of Seven leading economic powers — the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — are set to hold their annual gathering from Monday.
The Presidency says South Africa is one of five non-member states that have been invited to the summit.
"South Africa will participate in two outreach sessions," says Presidential spokesperson, Vincent Magwenya.
"The first will be a working lunch on “Investing in the future”, where issues of climate, energy and health will be discussed, followed by a working session titled “Stronger Together”, where the Summit will address food security issues and advancing gender equality.
"Germany has indicated that it will seek to strengthen the G7’s responsibility for working towards ‘the global common good’, thus expanding cooperation with all partners, especially within the framework of the United Nations and the G20, based on a fair and rules-based multilateral system."
War, climate change, hunger, poverty and health will be high on the agenda at this year's summit.
