Four Indian government sources said language on the war was the only issue left and a second meeting of sherpas to seek consensus was likely to last into the night. One source told Reuters a joint declaration may or may not come to a unanimous agreement. The hardened stance on the war has prevented agreement on even a single communique at the ministerial meetings during India’s G20 presidency so far this year, leaving it to the leaders to find a way around, if possible. China said on Friday it is willing to work with all parties and push for a positive outcome at the summit. Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning made there marks after a media report said Sunak blamed China for delaying an agreement on various issues, including Ukraine.
New Delhi has been decked up for the gathering with a brand new summit venue, fountains, flowerpots and illumination along major thoroughfares, alongside thousands of armed security personnel standing guard. The most important thing that can be done to support global economic growth is for Russia to end its brutal war in Ukraine, Yellen said. Western countries want a strong condemnation of the invasion as a condition for agreeing to a Delhi declaration.
