📄 G20 New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration

FULL TEXT

We are One Earth, One Family, and we share One Future.

🌐 Together we have an opportunity to build a better future. <...> We will pursue development models that implement sustainable, inclusive and just transitions globally, while leaving no one behind. <...>

✍️ We meet at a defining moment in history where the decisions we make now will determine the future of our people and our planet. <...>

As Leaders of G20, the premier global forum for international economic cooperation, we resolve to act in concrete ways through partnerships.

👉 We commit to:

• Accelerate strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth.
• Accelerate the full and effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
• Pursue low-GHG/low-carbon emissions, climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable development pathways by championing an integrated and inclusive approach.
• Promote resilient growth by urgently and effectively addressing debt vulnerabilities in developing countries.
• Scale up financing from all sources for accelerating progress on SDGs.
• Accelerate efforts and enhance resources towards achieving the Paris Agreement.
• Promote sustainable, quality, healthy, safe and gainful employment.
• Better integrate the perspectives of developing countries into future G20 agenda and strengthen the voice of developing countries in global decision making.

<...>

🤝 We reiterate our commitment to the G20 as the premier forum for global economic cooperation and its continued operation in the spirit of multilateralism, on the basis of consensus, with all members participating on an equal footing in all its events including Summits.

❗️ Recalling our collective actions to stem earlier global crises, we are determined to steer the world out of its current challenges and build a safer, stronger, more resilient, inclusive and healthier future for our people and the planet.

🇷🇺 Russia's position at the #UNGA78 regarding food security 🌾

☝️ We note the need to uphold the central role of the Rome-based international organizations — the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development — in coordinating international efforts to strengthen global food security, eliminate hunger, improve nutrition, and ensure sustainable agriculture and rural development.

We are actively engaged in the follow-up to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit to transform food systems. We assume that the transformation of international food systems should take into account national priorities and specific circumstances.

We oppose Western countries' attempts to hold Russia responsible for the global food crisis.

👉 In our contacts with friendly states and within various international fora, we endeavour to explain the real consequences and impact of the unilateral restrictions imposed against us.

❗️ We consider it crucial to prevent the politicization of international cooperation in the agrifood sector and the provision of humanitarian assistance, as well as the instrumentalization of the anti-famine agenda for commercial, economic and geopolitical purposes.

👉 We pay particular attention to ensuring stable and uninterrupted food supply chains and correcting distortions in the fertilizer market, primarily for the benefit of those in need in developing countries.

💬 Sergey Lavrov: The G20 Summit was an unqualified success. The G20 is undergoing an internal reform. One aspect of this reform is that the member countries representing the Global South have become more proactiv. They have been clear and persistent in ensuring that their interests are included in the agreements negotiated by the G20.
