South Africa runs the G20 group today, making big steps forward after just four months. The country set up 15 teams to work on world problems, showing how much we need countries to talk together. Zane Dangor, who leads South Africa's G20 team, thanked other nations during an online meeting that ran Thursday and Friday. He said they could only win if everyone jumped in and helped out.
"We want to back up teamwork between nations as we reach for shared goals and fix the big world problems that keep changing," Dangor said. He pointed out that with many crises hitting the world, we still need big groups like the UN to make plans that work. "The G20 must team up with the United Nations and other big groups to ease these hard spots and find real answers for all of us," he added.
The 15 work teams investigate many topics, such as fighting cheats in money deals, growing poor places, fixing the hot planet, lifting up women, teaching kids, and keeping people healthy. Dangor also said South Africa learned how to deal with tricky world fights, with G20 leaders and world affairs bosses handling the more heated talks. The next big G20 team meeting will happen in June in South Africa's North West land area.
