As China and Russia attend the G20 foreign ministers' meeting, Japan and South Korea abstain due to concerns over the joint statement.
Russian and EU foreign ministers made unequivocal comments that they will vehemently reassert their stances on Ukraine before the meeting on March 2.
On March 2, foreign ministers from G20 nations convened in Bangalore, but disagreements over Ukraine make it doubtful that they would release a consensus statement. Due to "domestic responsibilities," the foreign ministers of Japan and South Korea were not present. Russia and China both made announcements about ministerial trips to the gathering. Russian and EU foreign ministers, however, made unwavering remarks ahead of the conference, signaling that they would vehemently reassert their stances on Ukraine.
With Japan's extensive links to India and its holding of
the G7 group's yearly chair this year, his absence would be noticed. The
foreign minister of Japan postponed his trip owing to a clash with his legislative
timetable.
Due to his engagement in "internal matters,"
South Korea's foreign minister also chose not to attend the conference.
Nevertheless, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, who was in India for the first
time for the summit, believed the G20 will concentrate on important issues such
as development and global economic concerns.
