Ukraine will not be invited to the G20 summit in the Indian capital Delhi, the head of India’s foreign ministry said.
Ukraine will not receive an invitation to the G20 summit in India’s capital Delhi, scheduled for September 9-10.
“We made this decision because the G20 deals with issues of economic growth and development, and conflict resolution is the competence of the UN Security Council,” Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said on Wednesday.
Jaishankar added that India has decided to invite nine countries – Spain, the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mauritius, Egypt, Oman, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates – as guests.
“We maintain close relations with Ukraine, as evidenced by previous meetings between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and representatives of the Kiev authorities,” Jaishankar said at a press conference in Delhi.
Ukraine is still counting on an invitation
However, Ukraine itself does not hide the fact that it is counting on a change in India’s position. – We are still working on an invitation to the September summit. We are discussing this with both India and other G20 partners. We intend to raise economic issues in Delhi because Russia’s withdrawal from the Black Sea Agreement, which guarantees the export of our grain, is a serious challenge not only for the economies of African and Asian countries, but also for the world powers, said Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Mykola Tochycki, quoted by the Ukrainska portal True.
Recall that Ukraine already participated in the G20 summit last November. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky then appealed to the summit participants to stop Russia. “We will not let Russia wait and gather troops. I am convinced that this is the time when the war must and can be stopped.
He explained that in order to end the war, Russia must withdraw its occupying forces, make reparations for the damage done to Ukraine and reassert its territorial integrity. Zelensky also proposed a 10-point “peace formula”.
