NEW DELHI — Global economic leaders have agreed on a final declaration at the G20 summit, but the language surrounding Russia's invasion of Ukraine — which is leading to geopolitical tensions — has softened since the leaders last met.
The consensus statement from this year's G20 summit in India was posted by India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday, a day before the summit ends.
Senior government officials in Canada said it took months to get the wording where it is, but they wouldn't say what other countries had also pushed for stronger language. In a post on Facebook, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Oleg Nikolenko thanked countries who pushed for stronger language, but added the communique is"nothing to be proud of."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed similar sentiments when visiting Singapore on Friday, saying the G7 has more like-minded countries that share the same values. The communique also focused on gender equality, countering terrorism and money laundering, and building digital technology and green infrastructure.
