Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida discussed various topics, including the investment climate in India, the status of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, and the India-Japan-Bangladesh trilateral partnership. They met after the G20 Summit and expressed their eagerness to enhance cooperation in connectivity, commerce, and other sectors.
In the joint declaration issued after the summit held in Indonesia last year, G20 reaffirmed its cognizance of education as a human right and vowed to make it inclusive and equitable, with a specific focus on the educational hindrances faced by the girl child.
Russia s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, has stated that Russia will block the final declaration of the G20 summit unless it reflects Moscow s position on Ukraine and other crises. Lavrov s comments suggest that the summit may only be able to issue a non-binding or partial communique.
