Western diplomats said China\u2019s refusal to repeat that formulation was critical in pushing host India to propose compromise language.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the war, India\u2019s external affairs minister S Jaishankar said: \u201cIt is a fact that this is today a very polarising issue and there are multiple views on this. There are a spectrum of views on this, so I think in all fairness it was only right to record what was the reality in the meeting rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The declaration also contains a pledge by the leaders of the world\u2019s biggest economies to \u201cpursue and encourage efforts to triple renewable energy capacity globally\u201d, but does not include any deadline for phasing out fossil fuels. China and Saudi Arabia led efforts to block such language in G20 meetings in July.<\/p>\n<p>Adopting the declaration will be a foreign policy coup for India and its prime minister Narendra Modi, after speculation that divisions over Ukraine were too large to be bridged. Modi will face voters in a poll in which he will be seeking re-election to a third term in early 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe highlighted the human suffering and negative added impacts of the war in Ukraine with regard to global food and energy security, supply chains, macro-financial stability, inflation and growth,\u201d the joint statement said. \u201cThere were different views and assessments of the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The declaration called for a \u201cjust and durable peace in Ukraine\u201d but did not explicitly link that demand to the importance of Ukraine\u2019s territorial integrity, as western countries had pushed for. It also did not include the statement from the 2022 version that noted \u201cmost members strongly condemned the war\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser, nonetheless said the declaration had a \u201cset of consequential paragraphs\u201d on the war in Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom our perspective, it does a very good job of standing up for the principle that states cannot use force to seek territorial acquisition\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009that the use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible, that a just peace must be based on the principles of the UN Charter,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, the statement was a \u201cvote of confidence that the G20 can come together to address a pressing range of issues, and also to deal with hard issues that actually very much divide some members from others\u201d, Sullivan said. <\/p>\n<p>India, which styles itself as a leader of the so-called Global South group of developing countries, also succeeded in its campaign to have the G20 induct the African Union as a full member. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a matter of particular satisfaction to us that the African Union has become a member of the G20 during the Indian presidency,\u201d Jaishankar told reporters. <\/p>\n<p>The joint statement also makes reference to digital public infrastructure, that India has been promoting as a template for financial inclusion and economic productivity gains during its presidency after its own successful push to bring more than 1bn people online.<\/p>\n<p>Hanging over the summit was the still unexplained absence of China\u2019s president Xi Jinping. He skipped the meeting for the first time and instead sent the country\u2019s second-ranked cadre, Premier Li Qiang in what some analysts have described as a \u201csnub\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But the wording of the communique still reflected many Chinese talking points, such as that the G20 should limit itself to international economic issues and the language on Ukraine and nuclear weapons.\u00a0China has also heavily touted its role in supporting African Union membership.<\/p>\n<p>In his address to the Summit, Li said the G20 needed \u201cunity instead of division, co-operation instead of confrontation, and inclusion instead of exclusion\u201d, according to state-run news agency Xinhua.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The remarks are in line with China\u2019s portrayal of the US and its allies as pushing \u201cbloc confrontation\u201d and engaging in a \u201cCold War mentality\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Li also told the audience that China would inject momentum into the global economy despite its stumbling recovery from Covid, with signs that its traditional growth engines of property and debt-fuelled infrastructure spending were running out of steam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/af2cf577-9295-4b56-92ce-263abe202c43\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Receive free G20 updates We\u2019ll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest G20 news every morning.
