South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday that the declaration from this weekend's Group of 20 summit reflected a "renewed commitment to multilateral cooperation," concluding a meeting that pitted him against his U.S. counterpart.

Ramaphosa, host of the Johannesburg summit, pushed through the declaration addressing challenges like the climate crisis despite objections from the United States, which boycotted the event.

Addressing the closing ceremony, Ramaphosa said the declaration showed world leaders' "shared goals outweigh our differences."
