A no-show by China’s president called the bloc’s relevance into question.
NEW DELHI: US president Joe Biden and other G20 leaders gathered in New Delhi yesterday for their annual summit, as deep divisions between heavyweight members and a no-show by China’s Xi Jinping called the bloc’s relevance into question.
“If we are indeed one global family – we today resemble a rather dysfunctional one”, Guterres told reporters in New Delhi. Guterres insisted countries must assume responsibility regardless of “whether it’s the president or the prime minister or the vice president that comes” to New Delhi. The Indian leader, sensing an opportunity to burnish his credentials as a statesman ahead of a re-election tilt early next year, has also thrust himself front and centre of proceedings.
Diplomatic opprobrium and war crimes charges have kept Russian leader Vladimir Putin from the summit. Rumours have swirled that Beijing may be about to ban Apple’s ubiquitous iPhone – most of which are made in China.
