Another reflection of divisions at international fora: U.N. chief's spokesperson on no joint communique over Ukraine at G20 FMs meeting

The Hindu  

The failure of the G20 foreign ministers' meeting to come out with a joint communique over the Ukraine conflict is not a reflection on India’s efforts as host but of the “divisions" seen among countries in the international fora, a spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said. India as President of the G20 hosted the Foreign Ministers Meeting on Thursday in New Delhi, attended by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang among counterparts from other G20 nations. The meeting failed to come out with a joint communique due to a sharp rift between the West and Russia over the Ukraine conflict despite efforts by host India to bridge the differences. Mr. Dujarric was responding to a question on the conclusion of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting without a joint communique and Washington putting the blame for this on Moscow and Beijing.
