What’s the broader context of the G20 meeting, and what may come out of it?

It was bitter and heated in India as G20 nations debated the ongoing war in Ukraine.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the meeting was ruined by Russia’s “unprovoked and unjustified invasion” as his Russian counterpart accused the West of “blackmail and threats”.

India had every intention to focus the talks on other issues affecting developing nations, but says differences over Ukraine “couldn’t be reconciled”.

The G20 includes the world’s 19 wealthiest nations plus the European Union and accounts for 85% of global economic output and two-thirds of the population.

The group’s foreign ministers were meeting in Delhi under India’s presidency – marking the first face-to-face meeting of the top U.S. and Russian diplomats since the war began.

Former Associate White House Counsel to President Bush, Jamil Jaffer analyses what happened at the event, and its broader context.
