NEW DELHI, India: Leaders from the world’s top economies arrive in India on Friday for a two-day G20 summit overshadowed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, worries over the global economy and climate change and most importantly the country’s atrocities against minorities and a crackdown on the journalists in the Occupied Kashmir.
India is hosting the summit with a slogan “One Earth, One Family, One Future”, but its action on its own soil belie its claims in this regard. Minorities are under continuous suppression and the people in the occupied Kashmir have been denied their right to live even.
The leaders of the Group of 20 nations are also split by differences and strategic fault lines with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin skipping the September 9-10 summit in the capital New Delhi.
The G20 comprises of 19 countries and the European Union (EU), making up about 85 percent of global GDP and two-thirds of the global population.
