NEW DELHI, India - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks to forge consensus Saturday on a host of contentious issues from Ukraine to climate change, as G20 leaders hold their annual summit in New Delhi.
No official reason was given for Xi's absence, but the Asian giants have been at loggerheads over a border dispute and other issues, while Beijing is seeking to make US-led groupings such as the G20 more amenable to its own interests. G20 countries account for around 85 percent of global climate warming emissions, making action in the forum crucial to real progress.
The move would help burnish Modi's image as a self-styled leader of the"Global South", a bridge between developed and developing countries. Ahead of his arrival in New Delhi on Friday, US President Joe Biden insisted that the G20 can still"deliver", even as markets fret that a trade war between the world's two largest economies -- the United States and China -- is poised to escalate.
