Through a series of arduous negotiations conducted by India, involving key players such as China, Russia, and prominent Western nations, and with staunch support from Brazil, South Africa, and Indonesia, New Delhi successfully achieved a consensus on the G20 declaration. This accomplishment defied initial concerns that the document might not be issued at all due to profound divisions within the bloc concerning the Ukraine conflict, according to diplomatic sources on Saturday.
India adeptly persuaded China to align with the text regarding the Ukraine conflict, especially after receiving concurrence from the European Union, sources reported.
On the inaugural day of the summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the adoption of the G20 leaders’ declaration by consensus, a surprising turn of events given the steadfast positions held by both the Russia-China alliance and Western nations regarding the Ukraine conflict.
