Posted on 2nd Mar 2023 by rohit kumar

All the preparations have been completed for the meeting of foreign ministers of the world's most powerful twenty countries organization G-20 countries in the country's capital New Delhi on Thursday. Apart from foreign ministers (deputy foreign ministers of some countries) of these twenty countries, foreign ministers of nine specially invited countries and top officials of 13 global organizations have reached out to participate in the meeting. This is the first time that so many foreign ministers and other top officials have reached India together. The Ukraine war dispute is likely to dominate tomorrow's meeting.

 

Trying to reconcile the Ukraine dispute

Looking at the preparations of Russia and China on the one hand and America-Canada-France-UK-Germany on the other hand, India is constantly trying to move forward on important issues like the energy and food crisis and reforms in multinational agencies. Till the news was written late in the evening, Indian diplomacy was continuing its efforts to reconcile the two groups standing face to face on the Ukraine dispute. External Affairs Ministry S Jaishankar continued to hold discussions with visiting foreign ministers on Wednesday, while India's G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant is also holding discussions with Sherpas from other countries since Tuesday. The information of the conversation is also being given to PM Narendra Modi.

 

Emphasis on consensus on a joint statement

India is trying to reach a consensus on issuing a joint statement after the meeting of foreign ministers. India does not want the same situation to happen here as the joint statement was not issued after the meeting of the Finance Ministers of this organization in Bangalore. Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra says, "The current situation in Ukraine and Russia will be discussed in the meeting and what will be its result, it will not be right to say anything about it right now. India wants to discuss whatever priority issues are there." The way energy, food, and fertilizer crisis has arisen for India after the Ukraine-Russia war is very important. It is very important not only for India but also for Global South countries (developing and developed countries). have importance.

 

There is a possibility of talking about the situation of inflation.

In this meeting, the possible decline in the growth rate of the global economy during the year 2023 and the situation of inflation are also likely to be discussed. Despite this, there is a possibility of the Ukraine-Russia dispute being overshadowed. Kwatra said that India's stand on the Ukraine-Russia dispute is old and there is no change in it. PM Narendra Modi has already made it clear that this is not the era of war and the present dispute should be resolved only through discussion and diplomacy.

 

Russia and America showed their attitude

After reaching India, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met Jaishankar and later at a function also indicated Russia's tough stand at the G-20 meeting. He has said that western countries are following the policy of taking revenge on Russia. Lavrov met separately with the Foreign Ministers of Turkey and Brazil. It is believed that efforts are being made by Russia to get the support of those countries which are not completely in any camp.

 

China and America will be on one platform

On the other hand, before coming to India, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has no plans to meet the Foreign Ministers of China or Russia separately in New Delhi. Let us tell you that for the first time after the balloon espionage scandal, the Foreign Ministers of China and America will be face-to-face on a single platform. Blinken also canceled his trip to Beijing over the issue of China's spy balloon being caught over the US.
