According to Indian Foreign Minister Vinay Quatra, the “vast majority” of G-20 leaders are expected to attend the virtual meeting on Wednesday.
In contrast, reports from Russian television indicate that Russian President Putin plans to participate in the gathering for the first time since the beginning of the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Bloomberg highlighted that Indian Prime Minister Modi himself had previously missed a virtual meeting of leaders from emerging economies during discussions related to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, in which Xi Jinping had participated.
Modi was replaced by Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, according to Indian media.
