G20 Summit: India Circulates Reworked Draft Among Leaders, Adds New Paragraph On Ukraine Crisis Amid Lack Of Consensus

On Saturday, the development at the G20 Summit came following the leaders' repeated deliberations on pressing global challenges on 🃏the first day of the annual summit of the bloc.

After much deliberation and evident lack of🦄 consens𓂃us amongst the leaders on the paragraph relating to the Ukraine conflict at the G20 Summit 2023 in New Delhi, India on Saturday came up with a reworked version of the declaration draft. The final declaration of the G20 2023 is expected to be revealed at the end of the two-day long summit .

In a bid to 🌸hammer out a positive outcome, India on Friday went ahead with a draft among the member countries without the paragraph on the geopolitical issue mentioned in it. On Saturday, the development came following the G20 leaders' repeated deliberations on pressing global challenges on the first day of the annual summit of the bloc.

Lack of consesnsus on Ukraine War text

A l♕ack of consensus on the text on Ukraine may result in t🐈he summit ending without a joint declaration, which will be a first for the grouping.

Preไviously, during the G20 Sherpa meeting that took place in Nuh district of Haryana from September 3-6,  there was no consensus on the text to describe the Ukraine issue.

After today's development, Indian negotiators believe that there will be consensus on the new parag🍨raph that was circulated on Saturday morning, the sources said.

The respo𓂃nse of the Western powers ⛦as well as China and Russia to the new text was not known immediately.

Two sour𒅌ces had earlier said th🌳e G7 countries are not agreeable to any leaders' declaration without reference to the Ukraine conflict.

Almost all key meetings held unde🦋r India's G20 presidency, including those of finance and foreign ministers, could not come out with consensus documents in view of opposition from Russia and China to any text referring to the Ukraine conflict.
