President Joe Biden of the United States has expressed his disappointment over the absence of Chinese President Xi Jinping from the upcoming G20 Summit in India. While addressing the media, President Biden conveyed his eagerness for the forthcoming visit to India and underscored the importance of global cooperation on various fronts, including climate change and economic recovery.
“I’m looking forward to my visit to India and the opportunity to meet with leaders from around the world,” President Biden said. “However, I must express my disappointment that President Xi Jinping will not be attending the G20 Summit. It’s essential for global leaders to come together, engage in dialogue, and work towards addressing shared challenges.”
The absence of President Xi from the G20 Summit has raised questions about the potential impact on international discussions, especially regarding issues such as trade, climate change, and global economic recovery.
President Biden emphasized that the United States remains committed to constructive engagement with China and stressed the importance of dialogue between the two nations to address areas of disagreement and promote global stability.
“I believe that our two nations, the United States and China, can and should cooperate on many fronts, even as we acknowledge our differences. It is through diplomatic discussions and cooperation that we can find common ground and achieve progress,” President Biden stated.
The G20 Summit, scheduled to take place in India later this year, is expected to bring together leaders from the world’s major economies to discuss a range of global issues, including economic growth, climate action, and public health.
India, as the host nation, has been actively preparing for the summit and has expressed its commitment to facilitating meaningful discussions and collaborative efforts among G20 member countries.
While President Xi Jinping’s absence may cast a shadow over some discussions, leaders from various nations are expected to engage in dialogue and negotiations aimed at finding solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
President Biden’s visit to India during the G20 Summit is anticipated to strengthen bilateral ties and reaffirm the strategic partnership between the United States and India, which has been growing in significance in recent years.
