Russia G20

While the G-7 contests Russia and China, India at Apulia will participate as a partner democracy that holds commonality of values but is confident to look out for its own interests as well as the Global South.

The world, which has been more used to a pontificating India of the past, today hears an Indian voice on the global stage that is capable of articulating a narrative of a responsible stakeholder.

Moving beyond the idealistic echoes of its past, India has adopted an approach of gritty realism as it positions itself on the world stage. Its a high-stakes game, one centred around the singular pursuit of national interest.

Russian ambassador to India Denis Alipov on Saturday called for urgent reforms of the United Nations and agencies under it while making a strong case for the inclusion of India as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Russia on Wednesday said it supports India's aspirations to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council and also praised New Delhi's deft handling of the contentious issues at the G20 Summit as a "true triumph" of its foreign policy.

Russia has positively assessed the results of the G20 summit under India's chairmanship under which "extremely productive work" and "good results" were achieved, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

The Western powers failed to "Ukrainise" the agenda of the G20 largely due to consolidated efforts by the grouping's member nations from the Global South, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

The G20 Summit has snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, with its success in delivering the New Delhi Leaders' Declaration.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the New Delhi Declaration at the G20 Summit is about the awakening of the Global South which is "no longer willing" to be lectured about Russia complying with "Zelenskyy formula".

The declaration adopted by the Group of 20 on Saturday, when it began the two-day summit, avoided condemning Russia for the war in Ukraine but urged all states not to use force to grab territory.

The Delhi Declaration "confirms the isolation of Russia" France's Emmanuel Macron said Sunday, a day after G20 leaders released a "100 per cent unanimous declaration" notably light on mention of the war in Ukraine and Russia's role in it.

The G20 Summit in Delhi was a milestone, and didn't allow Ukraine to take over the agenda, Russian President Sergey Lavrov today said at a media briefing after the closing of the weekend summit.

India's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant on Saturday said that nearly 200 hours of "nonstop negotiations" were needed to ensure a joint communique from G20 leaders divided over the group's stance on Russia's war on Ukraine.

Asserting that "today's era must not be of war", the New Delhi Declaration of G20 countries on Saturday called on all states to uphold the principles of international law including territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Achieving a consensus on the New Delhi Declaration in the backdrop of the Russia-Ukraine war and "the strong views about it" required considerable time in the last few days, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday.
