After annexing Crimea, Russia had to leave the G8 forum. In 2017, this forum was transformed into the G-7 after Russia completely withdrew from this forum. After the attack on Ukraine, such situations are happening once again. America is trying its best to remove Russia from the G-20 forum.
The meeting of the heads of state of the G-20 countries is to be held between October-November this year. Before this meeting, America and Western countries are trying to separate Russia from this forum. But is it so easy to separate Russia from the G20 forum? Will G-20 also become G-19? It seems a bit difficult to make this happen.
Russia will get the support of three countries
According to foreign policy experts, after the attack on Ukraine, the situation is still being created as it was when Russia was suspended from the G8 countries. But the structure of both the forums is different. The remaining seven countries of the G8 included Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.
Countries like India-China or South Africa were not included in this forum. These three economic powers are included in the G20 Forum. In fact, the G-20 countries lead 80 percent of the world’s economy and almost the whole world itself. It is clear in the G20 countries that India, China and South Africa will never support the suspension of Russia.
Indonesia adamant on sending invitation to Russia
The biggest problem for America and the West is that Indonesia, the current chair of the G20 Forum, is adamant on inviting Russia for the meeting of the heads of the G20 countries. Whereas US-Europe want Indonesia not to invite Russia. But he is not listening to America. Indonesia has clearly said that it will send an invitation to Putin.
Although Indonesia supported the proposal to withdraw Russian troops from Ukraine at the United Nations, it did not mean that it stood with the US or Europe. Indeed, Indonesia’s foreign policy, like India’s, has also been independent. He has never been a hanger of any superpower. It is clear from Indonesia’s stand that Putin will attend the G-20 meeting.
India will be the President of G20 in 2023
In 2023, the chairmanship of the G20 Forum will go to India. Once the presidency goes to India, it will be more difficult for Western countries to suspend Russia from the G20 forum. India will never allow the suspension of Russia under its presidency. It is clear that America-Europe will have to wait till 2024 to suspend Russia from this forum.
Experts say that the way Indonesia has introduced its independent foreign policy, almost the same attitude will remain with India as India follows the path of independent foreign policy.
However, experts believe that if the Russia-Ukraine war drags on for a long time, Putin’s visit to the G20 forum may also open a way in breaking the impasse to solve the problem, as sideline talks are often overlooked. come out. But it also remains to be seen whether the US and European countries will not boycott the conference if Putin leaves, which is more likely.
Experts believe that even if America manages to expel Russia from the forum of G-20 countries, it does not directly harm Russia because the damage that was to be done due to economic sanctions is being done.
