The Group of 20 officials gathered for their “family photo” in the shade of clear blue skies and clear stars in front of Rio’s classic Sugarloaf Mountain. There was just one wrangle: US President Joe Biden was missing. When Biden, Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, and Giorgia Meloni, the lineup’s absentee, caused the traditional photo opportunity to turn into comedy on Monday.
However, that only became apparent after Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva posed for a photo with different world leaders, before they dispersed for more discussion. Was it perhaps a rally against President Putin’s opposition to the presence of Russian foreign secretary Sergei Lavrov? Or were some diplomatic discussions delayed? In the end, it seems it was over to disorganisation.
A US official claimed the “family picture” was taken too early and placed administrative strains on the blame. Biden’s presence was n’t an act of opposition, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Biden and the others were slow, according to the Portuguese organizers. They might attempt to bring all the G-20 rulers back up for a redo, which would be the first time ever.
But the metaphor was undeniable. The West appeared in chaos. Xi Jinping of China was able to enter and take center stage. Brazil’s Lula was flanked by the preceding G20 host- India’s Narendra Modi- and the next one- South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa. Argentina’s Javier Milei, who has been a hawthorn in Lula’s part, was lurking just behind him and next to France’s Emmanuel Macron. Subsequent to his Royal rival, Lavrov was securely tucked away in the back.
Keir Starmer, the UK’s prime minister, sabotaged the moon by himself. He had previously irked Xi by publicly criticizing Taiwan and China for its individual freedom. The two men, who were only separated by American Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, were utterly silent.
The annual G20 family photo could n’t possibly be truer to the saying,” A picture is worth a thousand words.” This historical preview tells the story of the rise and fall of cooperation between the world’s most powerful economy since its base in 1999.
Today’s goal was to open doors to everyone and repair world diplomacy’s flaws. Actually speaking, Lula intended to make the differences disappear by adding more viewers. Otherwise, Meloni and Trudeau realized they were missing as Xi held hands with other officials and grinned. As per a lake statement, she gasped and said” The photo”!
