New Delhi: Russia on Sunday said the G20 Summit under India’s presidency was a “breakthrough” conclave in many ways as its outcomes showed a path to the world to move forward on a range of challenges and demonstrated the strength and importance of the Global South.
In a press briefing, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said India played an important role in “preventing the West” from taking forward their approach on many issues, including Ukraine.
The summit declaration clearly sent across a message that military conflicts in the world must be resolved according to the UN Charter
and that the Western powers will not be able to press ahead with their concepts of resolution of various crises.
“It is a breakthrough summit in many ways. It provides us a way forward to move ahead in many issues,” he added.
Lavrov also noted that the G20 Summit in New Delhi provided a direction
towards fairness in global governance and global finance as well.
He also said that the West has done nothing on its promise of providing USD 100 billion annually to developing nations to deal with climate change.
