Brasilia, Nov 19 (Prensa Latina) The final session of the G20 Leaders Summit will take place in Rio de Janeiro, focusing on sustainable development and energy transition.

The meeting, attended by representatives of the 19 major economies and the European and African Unions, will conclude on Tuesday with Brazil officially handing over the G20 presidency to South Africa.

Unexpectedly, the summit released a Final Declaration condemning terrorism in all its forms. The heads of state expressed their anguish over ongoing global conflicts, emphasizing that, under the UN Charter, all nations must refrain from using force to undermine the territorial integrity and political independence of others.

The statement specifically addresses conflicts in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Ukraine, highlighting the “human suffering and negative impacts” caused by war.

On the Middle East conflict, G20 leaders stressed the urgent need to enhance humanitarian aid, protect civilians, and eliminate barriers to aid delivery.

The declaration also affirms the Palestinian right to self-determination and reiterates commitment to a two-state solution, envisioning “Israel and a Palestinian State living side by side in peace within secure and recognized borders, consistent with international law and relevant UN resolutions.”
