The heads of the world's largest economies will meet in India this weekend for the G20 leaders' summit, an intergovernmental forum founded 24 years ago and billed as one of the most high-profile geopolitical assemblies in the world.
It is the first time the South Asian country is hosting the summit, which could elevate India's status among major global players. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hoping the two-day event will burnish his credentials as he seeks a third term next year.Those attending the conference in New Delhi include President Joe Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Some believe it's a snub intended to steal the spotlight from the host country. Others believe Xi is busy with domestic troubles, including widespread flooding and anger over his government's stunted response to it, as well as worsening economic problems. China rolled out a new national map a few weeks ago that misrepresents Beijing's territorial borders by claiming 90% of the South China Sea, one of the world's most contested waterways, as well as India's northeastern Arunachal Pradesh state and the disputed Aksai Chin plateau.
"As far as China is concerned, they often show a degree of petulance," Bharatiya Janata Party Vice President Baijayant Jay Panda told Reuters."It may be hard for them to swallow that for four decades they were the fastest growing economy and now it is India." Israel could also reportedly become a part of the project and increase its reach to Europe if it would normalize relations with Saudi Arabia. Reports have surfaced that the G20 will agree to grant the 55-member African Union permanent membership status, with the decision announced this weekend.
