Foreign ministers of the Group of 20 economies have begun meeting in South Africa. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the two-day meeting, which began in Johannesburg on Thursday. He stressed the importance of the first gathering in Africa under the G20 framework.
Participants at the meeting include Japanese Foreign Minister as well as his Chinese and Russian counterparts. But US Secretary of State Marco Rubio decided to skip the meeting, denouncing a land law enacted in South Africa last month. The law allows the state to seize land even without compensation in some cases.
South Africa's government said it helps rectify the situation in which the country's white minority owns most private land as a legacy of past colonial occupation and the system of racial discrimination known as apartheid.
