Russian President Vladimir Putin to Skip G20 Summit

In a recent twist of events, Russian President Vladimir Putin has conveyed to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi his decision to abstain from attending this year's G20 Summit, set to take place in the historic city of Delhi on September 9th and 10th. This surprising development has ignited a series of discussions on the global stage. The phone call between the two leaders revealed that President Putin's absence would be filled by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who will represent the Russian Federation at the Summit. The G20 Summit, an annual gathering that encompasses the world's 19 most affluent nations along with the European Union, is a platform for fostering international cooperation and addressing global challenges. This year, the host nation, India, holds the G20 presidency and has been gearing up for the grand event. With notable attendees like US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the summit's agenda is expected to cover a myriad of topics, including the ongoing crisis surrounding Russia's incursion into Ukraine. Notably, Vladimir Putin recently participated in the Brics summit - a congregation of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa - through a video link. This unconventional approach was taken to evade potential legal entanglements, given the International Criminal Court's warrant against him on charges of war crimes in Ukraine. India's official statement emphasized the extensive discussion between President Putin and Prime Minister Modi on a range of regional and global concerns. India expressed its understanding for Russia's decision and extended gratitude for Russia's support during its G20 presidency. Russia's response, though not alluding to President Putin's absence from the G20 Summit, stressed the countries' intention to closely collaborate during Russia's upcoming chairmanship of Brics, commencing on January 1st next year. The statement highlighted the evolving and strategic nature of Russian-Indian relations. As the international stage prepares to convene in Delhi, the decision of President Putin to abstain from attending the G20 Summit casts a shadow of intrigue. With a dynamic lineup of world leaders, this year's G20 Summit is poised to be a forum for addressing pressing global challenges and fostering cooperation among nations. As the G20 Summit draws near, the world's attention remains fixed on Delhi, where discussions, diplomacy, and decision-making will shape the course of international affairs. #India #Russia #G20 #BRICSSummit #Delhi #Putin #Modi To Join Youtube Membership -    / @hwnewsenglish   SUBSCRIBE to HW News English Here ► http://bit.ly/Subscribe-HWNews-English Connect With Us On: → Facebook:   / hwnewsenglish   → Twitter:   / hwnewsenglish   → Instagram:   / hwnewsenglish   → Dailymotion : https://www.dailymotion.com/hwenglish For More Videos Visit Here: https://hwnews.in/
