Sergey Lavrov described the G20 Summit under India's presidency as a "breakthrough" in many ways as its outcomes showed a path to the world to move forward on a range of challenges.
The Western powers failed to "Ukrainise" the agenda of the G20 largely due to consolidated efforts by the grouping's member nations from the Global South, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, hailing the declaration unveiled by the leaders of the bloc that avoided condemning Moscow for its war against Ukraine.
He also described the G20 Summit under India's presidency as a "breakthrough" in many ways as its outcomes showed a path to the world to move forward on a range of challenges.
"We didn't expect that. We were ready to defend our wording of the text. The Global South is no longer willing to be lectured," he said referring to the G20 New Delhi Leaders' Declaration.
