Source<\/strong>– The post is based on the article \u201cG20: India\u2019s platform for global leadership\u201d <\/strong>published in The Hindu <\/strong>on 2nd March 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Syllabus: <\/strong>GS2- Global Groupings and Agreements affecting India\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

Relevance:<\/strong> Development related to G20<\/p>\n

News-<\/strong> India recently hosted the meeting of the G20 finance minister as its current chair.<\/p>\n

Why does the G20 seem to be in a deadlock?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Foreign Ministers of Japan and South Korea declined to attend the Delhi meet. Russia, China and the EU publicly stuck to their differing positions on the war in Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first time ever, the group could not agree on an outcome document<\/strong> in a recent meeting of foreign ministers.<\/p>\n

India found itself in an uneasy situation.<\/strong> It was not able to explain whether it supported its own<\/p>\n

Chair\u2019s summary<\/strong>. The summary noted that the majority of states condemned Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and rejected the use or the threat of use of nuclear weapons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

India has reservations about calling Mr. Putin\u2019s invasion of Ukraine a war at all<\/strong>. India wanted the conflict to be referred to as a crisis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There was little time left for discussions on debt restructuring and cryptocurrency regulation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why should India take a stand on Russia’s invasion of UKraine at president of G20?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Condemning Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/strong> is not about supporting the United States or encouraging NATO expansion<\/strong>. It is about upholding the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity<\/strong> enshrined in the UN Charter.<\/p>\n

These are also the same principles that India has relied on for international support in the four wars that it has fought since independence.<\/p>\n

The concern is global<\/strong>. This is not just a European problem<\/strong>. The war has affected oil and gas prices, exacerbated inflation and disrupted global food supplies and prices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Further, it has escalated nuclear risks.<\/strong> There is a big threat to Ukraine\u2019s nuclear power plants, all five of which have come under direct shelling this past year.<\/p>\n

If war continues for a longer time, Russia will be weaker due to sanctions and isolation by developed economies<\/strong>. It will become more dependent on China<\/strong>. The irony of India not taking sides means that it is helping Russia become a client state of China. <\/strong><\/p>\n

India played a vital role last year in reaching consensus at the Bali summi<\/strong>t. It would be a tragedy if India is not able to do so at New Delhi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
