International Relations and Cooperation Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane will visit Los Cabos, Mexico, to participate in the G20 Informal Meeting of Foreign Ministers on Global Governance issues, scheduled for 19 to 20 February 2012.
The Informal Meeting of Foreign Ministers, to be held under the Mexican Presidency of the G20, will draw on the multilateral experience of the G20 Foreign Ministers with a view to exploring ways in which G20 member countries can contribute more effectively to addressing key challenges in global governance and help bring about the necessary leadership to revitalise multilateralism.

- Global Governance: breaking the deadlocks in the multilateral system
- Addressing current global challenges in an effective manner
- Building common understandings on green growth and sustainable development and
