- The formal G20 presidency transfer from South Africa to the United States occurred on November 25 in a low-profile event at the Department of International Relations.
- Both nations agreed to keep the handover subdued to ease ongoing diplomatic disagreements over US summit representation.
- South Africa required the US to appoint a senior envoy for the presidency handover, rejecting a chargé d’affaires as insufficient.
- Although US embassy officials could attend the summit, only a high-ranking representative received the presidency gavel from President Ramaphosa.
You cannot have a head of state handing over the presidency and leadership of such an important forum for macro-economic and related issues being handed over to a junior embassy official.— Vincent Magwenya, President Ramaphosa's spokesperson, described Washington's initial plan as 'a breach of protocol.'
