Watch Sir Keir Starmer address fellow world leaders at the G20 summit in South Africa on Saturday morning, delivering his opening remarks.

The Prime Minister deployed his moment to push the agenda of growth, urging Governments to join his Cabinet’s mission.

In Johannesburg, he said: “Good jobs, lower bills, higher growth, better living standards. And that is what my Government is focused on. And we want to work with our partners around the table to make that happen.

“But there’s no doubt the road ahead is tough.

“Fragility in the Middle East, rising threats of authoritarianism and fragmentation, as well as Russia’s ongoing unjustified war in Ukraine.

“The shockwaves of that invasion are still reverberating through global markets today.

“It has hit growth, driven up food and energy prices, and deepened persistent imbalances and instability across the world.

“With all that in mind, and echoing what others have said, the role of the G20 is critical at this moment.”
