NEW DELHI, Sept 6 - China's President Xi Jinping skipping this week's G20 summit in New Delhi was not unusual and will not affect negotiations to produce a consensus communique at the meeting, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said.
Jaishankar also played down a threat from his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov - who will represent Moscow at the summit in President Vladimir Putin's place - that Russia will block the summit's final declaration unless it reflects Moscow's position on Ukraine and other crises. The G20 is"very much a collaborative forum" and"not the arena for power politics", Jaishankar told ANI, in which Reuters has a minority stake.
The absence of Putin and Xi as well as divisions over the war mean it would be difficult to arrive at a consensus Leaders Declaration at the summit, analysts and officials have said. But Xi's absence could also be a signal of his narrative of 'East is rising, and the West is falling', as well as showing solidarity with Putin, said Wen-Ti Sung, political scientist at the Australian National University.
