The success came from a complicated conversation the night before.

It is worth noting that the tough negotiations the night before gave India the success for which PM Modi’s team had been working day and night since getting the G-20 chairmanship. In fact, till Friday evening, the matter of consensus on the Delhi Declaration regarding Ukraine issue was stuck. There was also a danger looming whether a united statement would be issued from the summit, but after this the Indian team again started a round of talks with representatives of China, Russia and western countries. In this, India got full support from Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia. Due to these efforts, India was successful in getting China to agree to the article prepared on Ukraine issue.
