Story summary

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar traveled to Atlanta for a G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting from October 29 to 31, 2026. The meeting was chaired by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and included discussions with counterparts like Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong. However, the event started awkwardly when a traditional group photograph scheduled for the opening day was canceled due to some diplomats' reluctance to be pictured alongside Lavrov. This cancellation highlighted deep rifts among G20 members over conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, as well as concerns about Russia's presence at international forums during its ongoing war in Ukraine. Despite criticism from European allies, Rubio defended including Russia in the talks, arguing that dialogue is essential for addressing global challenges. The meeting concluded without reaching consensus on key issues, reflecting persisting divisions among member nations.
