K.C. Singh | China, Ukraine shadow over Sept G-20 summit

Deccan Chronicle  

Senior officials from nearly 40 nations attended the peace conference on the Ukraine war in Jeddah on August 6-7. Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi eventually spoke to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, India has basically stuck to anodyne statements about respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity as the founding principles of the UN Charter. The attendance at the conference by India’s national security adviser Ajit Doval, besides keeping India relevant in international diplomacy, was due to only a month remaining for the much-anticipated G-20 summit in New Delhi in early September. China has caused a public debate in India by revealing, after the recent Brics’ NSAs meeting in South Africa, that President Xi Jinping had more than a cursory meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at last year’s Bali G-20 summit. If President Xi comes to India, a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Modi would be unavoidable as the PM would be so engaging with his other guests like US President Joe Biden.
