    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Russia’s foreign minister has hailed the G20 summit in Delhi as a success, after Moscow was shielded from criticism over the Ukraine war in a joint declaration.

    India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, hailed a diplomatic triumph after all members of the group, including China, reached a toughly negotiated consensus and signed a joint declaration on issues covering climate, economic cooperation and, most divisively, the war in Ukraine.

    He said he had not expected western countries to agree to the statement, after the Russian and Chinese delegations made it clear they no longer accepted the wording used to condemn the invasion of Ukraine at last year’s summit.

    Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said he had been hoping for stronger language on Russia’s role in the declaration, but added: “If it were up to other leaders, it would have been much weaker.”

    Perhaps the most significant announcement of the weekend was the launch of a new economic corridor that will link India with the Middle East and Europe through a new network of rail and shipping infrastructure – although it remains in the early stages of planning.

    The ambitious project was launched on Saturday by Modi, Joe Biden, Ursula von der Leyen and the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.
