India will tout the meeting as a victory, but the bloc remains deeply divided, which was demonstrated by Xi Jinping’s no-show.
of the G20, which loosely brings together the world’s leading economies, concluded in New Delhi last weekend. When the group was established in 1999, it aimed to serve as a forum for the discussion and co-ordination around global economic growth and financial stability.
But Modi wanted to capitalise on the G20 fanfare with the presence of some of the world’s most powerful leaders in New Delhi to highlight India’s importance in the emerging global order. He was also determined to cement what he and other Indian leaders see as India’s status as a leader of the global south.
These tensions are unlikely to abate easily or soon. Russia’s war in Ukraine shows no signs of ending, and Putin’s hope that Western support for Ukraine would wane was mostly proved wrong. This was no doubt a compromise among parties with varying views on the war. This contrasted with the declaration in Bali, Indonesia, last year, when China and Russia acquiesced to a leaders’ statement that contained a forthright condemnation of the invasion.
These targets and projects are laudable, but none amounts to any binding commitments. Nor did the communique spell out any possible pathways towards implementing its objectives – including on climate mitigation issues.

Jacinta Price’s speech could mark a ‘turning point’ in Australian race relationsSky News host Andrew Bolt has hailed Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s “stunning” speech in the National Press Club, saying it could mark a “turning point” for race relations in Australia. The shadow minister fronted the press gallery just one week after Indigenous leader Professor Marcia Langton. Mr Bolt criticised Professor Langton’s “old race politics of the left”, comparing her comments with Ms Price’s call for a new era. “Price, of course, countered the lies of the Yes campaign,” he said. “It's false to say Aborigines don’t already have a voice. Look, for instance, at the 11 people in federal parliament who identify as Aboriginal. “No, it’s false to say this Voice would just give advice – in fact, the word advice is nowhere in the words we'll be voting on.”
