New Delhi, Sep 9: While enthusiasm for the consensus achieved in the Delhi Declaration, particularly about the Ukraine conflict, is clear, the language used represents a notable departure from previous Bali Declarations. In a significant linguistic change from the Bali Declaration, the Delhi Declaration now refers to the “war in Ukraine” rather than the “war against Ukraine”, indicating a significant change in stance. The change also suggests a softening of positions by the G7 countries and the EU regarding the language used in the previous Bali Declaration.
Another notable reduction in the previous stance can be seen in the Delhi Declaration’s acknowledgment that, “While the G20 is not a forum to resolve geopolitical and security issues, we acknowledge that these issues have important consequences for the global economy.” Can.” Responding to a question regarding the possible impact of the Ukraine conflict on the G20 summit, Indian Sherpa Amitabh Kant said on Friday: “The G20 is a forum to discuss development and growth issues. However, the previous Bali G20 summit During the 1970s, it was recognized that wars and conflicts could affect the economy and development, which led to their discussion.”
The change in language and position is evident in the excerpts from the Delhi Declaration, which states, “About the war in Ukraine, recalling the discussions in Bali, we reiterate our national positions adopted in the United Nations Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly and The Assembly reiterated the resolutions. We emphasized that all States should act by the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.” The document also emphasizes human suffering and the adverse effects of the Ukraine conflict on global food and energy security, supply chains, macro-financial stability, inflation, and growth. These factors have complicated the policy environment for countries, especially those still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic disruptions, hampering progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
