G20 leaders end summit with pledges aligned to Trudeau agenda
The world’s largest economies closed the G20 summit on Wednesday with strong condemnation of Russia and a pledge to deepen collaboration aimed at preventing another pandemic.
“They want something that really points a finger at Russia, and says Russia has done criminal acts and a war of aggression.” John Kirton, head of the G20 Research Group, said the statement clearly shows Russia is losing influence with the booming countries it used to collaborate with tightly, such as Brazil, India and China, but with phrasing that allows Moscow to save face.“It wasn’t clear that there was going to be a communiqué at all,” Kirton said.
Those include formalizing the plans to launch a global fund to prevent pandemics, even if countries have pledged just US$1.4 of the US$10 billion required to get it going. Yet Kirton noticed relatively little in the communiqué on women’s rights, global tax reform and food security, despite a looming famine in Eastern Africa.
