S Jaishankar attends G20 meet in US
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar attended the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting in Atlanta on Friday, alongside US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The meeting aimed to address energy supply chains and tackle shared economic and security challenges. Rubio warned of a critical moment of choosing, emphasizing the interconnected crises facing the global economy, including disruptions to energy and food markets, supply chains, and freedom of navigation.
Jaishankar interacted with his counterparts from several countries before the meeting, which included Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov seated between Mexican and Saudi Arabian delegates. The G20 must work together to confront these threats, strengthen economic resilience, and safeguard markets, Rubio stated. The US, under its America First agenda, is encouraging partners to protect shipping routes, enhance food security, and mitigate the economic impacts of geopolitical crises.
Jaishankar's visit comes amid deep divisions among G20 nations over global crises, and he will also participate in a QUAD Ministerial with Japan, Australia, and the US on the sidelines of the G20 meeting.
