China At G20 Summit

India and China both on Saturday refrained from signing the pledge at the COP28 climate summit to triple the world's renewable energy capacity by 2030 even though New Delhi already committed to it as part of its G20 presidency.

A 12-hour drama unfolded last Thursday in Delhi after the security team of a five-star hotel - where the Chinese delegation for G20 summit had checked in - noticed a member carrying a bag with "unusual dimensions".

China finally broke its silence on the New Delhi G20 summit saying that the Declaration adopted by the member nations has sent a "positive signal" that the influential grouping is "working together" to tackle global challenges.

Giorgia Meloni privately signalled to Chinese Premier Li Qiang that Italy is planning to exit from an investment pact that has become a test of her nation's relations with the US.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said that China was very supportive of various outcomes at the G20 Summit held in New Delhi.

In a big win for India's G20 Presidency, a consensus was reached and the Delhi Declaration has been adopted at the mega Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced today.

On Chinese President not attending the G20 Summit scheduled to be held in New Delhi on September 9-10, G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said China is a multilateral player and discussions at multilateral level are very different from bilateral issues.

With just hours left for the G20 Summit to begin, climate change is already turning to be a contentious point among the leaders, sources said.

The United States, ahead of G20 Summit, hit out at the Russia for not only skipping important global events but also constantly attacking Ukraine despite its impact on global recession.

Eschewing face-time with foreign leaders at global summits this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday visited the homes of villagers in a rural part of northeast China battered by floods.

It is for China to decide what role it plays at the G20 Summit in New Delhi, a top US official has said, asserting that if Beijing wants to come in and be a "spoiler", that option is available to it.

Chinese President Xi Jinping first tried to avoid meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, US President Joe Biden and other world leaders by cancelling his scheduled appearance at the two-day G20 summit in Delhi starting September 9.

Amid speculation some heads of state, including China's Xi Jinping, may skip the G20 Summit this weekend, sources have said it is natural that "level of attendance at global summits varies from year to year" due to demands on leaders' time.

China's foreign ministry on Thursday said Chinese President Xi Jinping was not criticising Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a day after Xi was seen confronting Trudeau at the G20 summit over alleged leaks from a meeting they held.

A planned G20 meeting between British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and President Xi Jinping of China has been cancelled due to "scheduling issues", a Downing Street spokesperson said on Wednesday.
