G20 leaders reached a consensus on a joint declaration at a summit in New Delhi on Saturday, September 9.
About this informs The Hindustan Times.
The Prime Minister of G20 India, Narendra Modi, announced that the approval of the declaration shows that the participants were able to find compromise formulations in the blocs related to Russia’s war against Ukraine.
«Regarding the war in Ukraine, recalling the discussion in Bali, we reiterated our national positions and resolutions adopted in the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly, and emphasized that all states must act in accordance with the goals and principles of the UN Charter in its entirety. According to the UN Charter, all states must refrain from the threat or use of force to seize territory against the territorial integrity, sovereignty or political independence of any state“, the document says.
The declaration drew attention to the human suffering and additional negative consequences of the war in Ukraine on global food and energy security, supply chains, macro-financial stability and inflation.
«We call on all states to uphold the principles of international law, including territorial integrity and sovereignty, international humanitarian law, and the multilateral system that guarantees peace and stability. Peaceful conflict resolution and crisis resolution efforts, as well as diplomacy and dialogue, are critical“, the statement says.
The G20 countries emphasized that they will join forces to overcome the negative impact of the war on the world economy.
As a reminder, the list of invited permanent members to the summit includes Vladimir Putin. Also, representatives of Bangladesh, Egypt, Mauritius, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Oman, Singapore, Spain and the UAE were invited as guests.
Ukraine did not receive an invitation to the summit. This decision was made because the G20 deals with economic issues, such as the growth and development of groups of countries and individual states.
