Noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping’s absence will not cast a shadow on the G20 Summit, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said there have been presidents or Prime Ministers who for some reason have chosen not to come for global meetings and that country’s position is reflected by the representative present on the occasion.
In an exclusive interview with ANI ahead of the G20 Summit in Delhi on September 9 and 10, Jaishankar said India has a responsibility of the G20 Presidency in a difficult world that is facing the impacts of COVID-19, Ukraine conflict, climate change, debt, north-south divide and sharper east-west polarization and the effort is to find common ground.
