1. Unattended countries
Analysts and officials have noted that the G20 summit 2023 is divided by the conflict in Ukraine and that it will be challenging to get a consensus on a Leaders declaration at the meeting given the absence of Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. So Russia and China both the countries are not going to attend the summit.
Unofficially, it has been heard that in China, communist party retired ministers have said that if the government doesn’t solve the political, economic, and social issues of the country, then the ruling party will lose votes from the country’s people. Due to this, it has been assumed that dangerous situations may arise for the communist party in the future. It is being said that this instability in China may be the reason for Xi Jinping’s not coming to the G20 summit. Instead of him, Prime Minister Li Qiang will come for the summit. On behalf of Russia, the Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, H.E. Mr. Sergey Lavrov, will attend the G20 summit.
