Singapore has been invited by the Republic of South Africa as a guest country to participate in G20 meetings under its 2025 G20 Presidency.

Singapore would like to express its appreciation to South Africa for the invitation. Singapore and South Africa enjoy a longstanding and broad-based partnership, underpinned by strong people-to-people ties.
