March 3, 2023

The G20 foreign ministers’ meeting on Thursday was unable to come out with a joint communique due to a sharp rift between the West and Russia over the Ukraine conflict. The meeting adopted a Chair’s Summary and Outcome Document listing various key priorities for the grouping. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said there were differences over the Ukraine conflict because of which the meeting could not agree on the joint communique. Several diplomats said there were deep divisions between the US-led West and the Russia-China combine over the Ukraine conflict.
