INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday hit out at western nations, accusing them of raking up the Ukraine issue during G20
meetings and claiming that they ignored the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia in previous deliberations of the grouping.&I asked
my Indian friends, my Indonesian friends who chaired the G20, and those who chaired before Indonesia, whether the G20 has ever reflected the
situation in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan or Yugoslavia in its declarations, because the G20 was formed in 1999 at the level of finance
ministers and central bankers/ But nobody cared,& Lavrov said speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi.&Now, after Russia started
defending itself after years of warnings, the G20 is only interested in Ukraine
This is a shame, and this policy will fail,& Lavrov stressed.The G20 Foreign Ministers Meeting was held in New Delhi on March 1-2
The top diplomats discussed food and energy security and cooperation for sustainable development, counterterrorism, new and emerging
threats, humanitarian and other disaster relief, and the implications of the situation in Ukraine for other countries.The post Lavrov
wonders why Afghanistan never dominated G20 discussions first appeared on Ariana News.
