Experts, diplomats and officials had downplayed expectations of India\u2019s negotiators being able to <strong>pull off (Be successful; achieve a goal)<\/strong> what few have achieved thus far: a <strong>d\u00e9tente (The easing of tensions or strained relations (especially between nations)) <\/strong>between the \u201cwestern\u201d G-7-EU axis and the Russia-China combine over the issue of the Ukraine war. At the UN Security Council, not a single statement has been passed so far as a result of vetoes by both sides. While Indonesian G-20 negotiators in 2022 were able to pull off a joint statement with references critical of Russia (the G-7 pushed for these), the <strong>consensus (Agreement in the judgment or opinion reached by a group as a whole) <\/strong>did not last, and Russia and China refused to have them repeated this year. As every Indian ministerial meeting ended without success in a joint statement, India\u2019s negotiating team took the more considered approach \u2014 to achieve consensus on other issues, before tackling the paragraphs on Ukraine. There was a <strong>breakthrough (\u200ban important development that may lead to an agreement or achievement) <\/strong>after the G-7 compromised on its insistence of language critical of Russia by having more neutral paragraphs. The Declaration statement achieved what is truly impossible in today\u2019s global <strong>polarisation (\u200bthe act of separating or making people separate into two groups with completely opposite opinions)<\/strong>. In that, India\u2019s \u201cmiddle path\u201d policy has been its biggest strength, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s personal outreach to many G-20 leaders over the year. Another key initiative was enlisting the \u201cGlobal South\u201d, including many G-20 members, who were reluctant to take sides in the <strong>tussle (Disorderly fighting)<\/strong>, and wanted instead to shift priorities to global development issues. As a result, the 83-paragraph Declaration made progress on cryptocurrency regulation, and <strong>crystallised (Make free from confusion or ambiguity; make clear) <\/strong>a figure of nearly $10 trillion needed for climate change adaptation and mitigation projects for the Global South, although it failed to agree on any fossil fuel \u201cphase-out\u201d deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were several other initiatives too: the admission of the 55-member African Union has corrected an imbalance that so far only allowed the EU in as a regional grouping in the G-20. The Global Biofuel Alliance was an important step towards more research and delivery of alternative energy sources for a world still dependent on fossil fuels. Finally, an India-Middle East-Europe Corridor with the promise of U.S. investment has <strong>dazzling (Amazingly impressive) <\/strong>possibilities, but details of its funding and execution still need to be <strong>drawn out (to extend beyond a minimum in time)<\/strong>. India\u2019s attempt to take the G-20 outside of the ordinary, single-venue template, to hold 200 meetings in over 60 cities, drawing more than 1,00,000 official visitors from 125 countries, has been noted as a unique initiative, <strong>albeit (even though) <\/strong>at considerable extra cost; it remains to be seen whether future G-20s will find it a viable example to follow. Above all, India\u2019s G-20 leaves an <strong>indelible (Cannot be removed or erased) <\/strong>mark in its attempt to \u201cpopularise\u201d an organisation seen till now as a <strong>staid (Excessively conventional and unimaginative and hence dull) <\/strong>and boring event bringing world leaders to a high table where <strong>arcane (Requiring secret or mysterious knowledge) <\/strong>subjects are discussed, decisions made are not scrutinised, and without bringing real change to the lives of the wider global population. To that end, Mr. Modi\u2019s decision to hold a virtual \u201creview\u201d meeting in November, before India gives up its presidency, is a chance to ensure implementation and scrutiny of the decisions made over the weekend, that has been dubbed \u201cIndia\u2019s G-20 moment\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
