With both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping skipping the upcoming G20 meeting in New Delhi, “this could be an opportunity for greater unity on key issues for those world leaders still attending,” writes David A. Andelman.
This might have been an opportunity for world leaders to bridge a host of chasms that are opening up, as G20 conferences have in the past. But now, this upcoming weekend’s G20 gathering in New Delhi seems more likely to widen the gulf between the blocs — east and west, north and south — than at any other point since the Cold War. Unless this opportunity is well and deftly played.
” China dismissed the claims. Is Xi skipping the G20 in order to avoid a face-to-face conversation with Biden? The US President on Sunday said, “I am disappointed … but I am going to get to see him,” without elaborating on when that would be. There is still another opportunity for a one-on-one meeting at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in San Francisco in November — though there’s no guarantee Xi will show up for that, either.
