The current world order is undergoing tectonic changes. The model catering to the interests of the so called “North” as a result of colonialism, has ceased to exist. The world structure is transitioning to multipolarity and a more equal distribution of power. Read more in the article by Russian Ambassador to India Denis Alipov published in the Indian Express newspaper (March 30, 2023)

Key points:

🔹 The "non-Western world" (or "jungle", in Josep Borrel’s Freudian slip) is again, albeit more nicely this time, being put in a subordinate position. The West is obviously unable to accept the main principle of the UN Charter – sovereign equality of nations.

🔹 The G20 FMM held in New Delhi on March 1-2, 2023 reaffirmed the primacy of multilateralism, the central role of the UN, and the need to increase contribution of developing nations in the decision-making process. India’s constructive approach was instrumental in formulating the key topics of the agenda in a balanced manner. There is a consensus on all of them except one. That is because the divisive Ukrainian issue belongs in the UN, not on the G20 agenda.

🔹 The G20 traditionally is the leading forum for the international economic cooperation as was fixed in the joint statement following the Summit in Pittsburgh in September 2009. It should remain focused on global economic and social problems. Throwing in the Ukraine issue will lead to its failure. Russia doesn’t want that, as it doesn’t avoid discussing the issue in the UNSC. G20 agenda should not be hijacked by a subject which is not part of it.

🔹 Russia is committed to work closely with the Indian Presidency and participate actively in all G20 ministerial tracks to contribute to a successful summit in New Delhi. We aim at working together with India in a result-oriented manner, and are ready to show the maximum possible flexibility.
