G20: India vows not to let Ukraine dominate the summit

 


Sustainable development and geo-politics will dominate the G20 summit. The leaders of China and Russia have decided to skip the event, while Ukraine was not invited. 

As the Group of 20 (G20) summit is set to kick off in New Delhi, world leaders began pouring into the freshly primed and pruned capital city of India.

This year India is hoping to focus on sustainable development, climate change, economic challenges of southern countries and geo-political tensions. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed not to let Ukraine overshadow this summit and did not invite Kyiv to the event.

But how much of a consensus they can reach remains unclear with some nations, including the US, UK and Japan, sending the heads of state or government to the meeting while lower-level officials represent other countries, including Russia and China.
