G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting Concludes Without Consensus on Key Issues

The Hindu - International · world

G20 foreign ministers concluded two days of talks in Atlanta without reaching consensus on critical global security issues, primarily due to divisions over Russia's war with Ukraine. Consequently, the group will not release a joint communique, instead relying on a chairman's statement. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio cancelled the traditional group photograph after European diplomats objected to the inclusion of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Deep differences also exist regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, U.S. tariffs, and Chinese actions in the South China Sea.
