Leaders at the G20 have all agreed to a final communique after what Canadian government officials describe as months of “very difficult” negotiations.
Indian Prime Minister Narendar Modi announced the consensus during a G20 session on Saturday afternoon.“On the back of the hard work of all the teams, we have received consensus on the G20 Leaders Summit Declaration,” Modi announced during the first day of the G20 summit in New Delhi.
Canadian government sources with knowledge of the negotiations — who were not authorized to speak publicly — described the negotiations as a challenge. “We went into the negotiation knowing it would be difficult and we held as firm as we think we could,” one senior government source said. At last year’s G20 in Bali, Indonesian President Joko Widodo clinched consensus at the last minute. On Ukraine, largely viewed as the most contentious issue, the Bali Leaders' Declaration states that "most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and stressed it is causing immense human suffering and exacerbating existing fragilities in the global economy.
