BENGALURU, India: G20 finance ministers failed on Saturday to agree on a joint statement on the global economy at talks in India, as China sought to water down any reference to the Ukraine war, officials said.
Spain’s representative Nadia Calvino said that because of “less constructive” approaches by some unspecified countries at talks among the world’s top 20 economies in the southern city of Bengaluru, agreeing on a statement was proving “difficult”.
