In the current year 2019, the South African current and fifth President “Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa“ will be the honorable chief guest. During the G20 summit, the honorable prime minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi invited him to be the part of this auspicious day. This G20 summit was organized in Buenos Aires which is the capital of Argentina.
