US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, followed by several foreign ministers from other countries, did not want to participate in a joint photo shoot with a Russian representative.
This year, the traditional photo session of participants in the G20 summit will not take place due to the refusal of a number of foreign ministers to pose with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. On Friday, July 8, Kyodo reported.
Previously, the photo shoot was postponed until the end of the summit. It was reported that U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was the first to refuse a joint photo session with a delegate from the Russian Federation.
The G20 Heads of State Summit is scheduled for November 15-16 in Bali. The leaders of all the countries participating in the G20 are invited here, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was also invited to the summit. Later, Indonesian authorities removed Putin’s personal presence.
