G20 Updates

Описание: External affairs minister S Jaishankar has downplayed the decision of Chinese President Xi Jinping to skip the G20 Summit in New Delhi, saying its position will be reflected by the representative present at the annual meeting. In an interview with news agency ANI, Jaishankar said that the absence of the heads of state at G20 Summit is not new and at different points in time there have been some Presidents or PMs who have chosen not to come.

"I think, at different points of time in G20 there have been some Presidents or PMs who, for whatever reason, have chosen not to come themselves. But that country and its position is reflected by whoever is the representative on that occasion...I think everybody is coming with a great deal of seriousness," Jaishankar said.
Leaders from the world's top economies will be arriving in India on Friday for a two-day G20 summit. While India has coined the optimistic slogan “One Earth, One Family, One Future” for the Summit, the G20 leaders are riven by differences and strategic fault lines. The G20 consists of 19 countries and the European Union, making up about 85 per cent of the global GDP and two-thirds of the world's population.
