G20 Summit: Declaration significant for all, including Russia, says Japanese PM Fumio Kishida
Japanese PM Fumio Kishida on Sunday said the New Delhi Declaration was significant as all members, including Russia, agreed that «states must refrain from the threat or use of force to seek territorial acquisition». However, he did not get into the specifics of the language of declaration.
On the safety of Japan's release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, he said, «Many countries already viewed the process of discharge as safe and transparent.
I feel now that such understanding has spread further.»
Meanwhile, PM Modi and Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva held a dialogue here on Sunday and underscored the need for open, unimpeded and reliable food supply chains and called upon the global community to ensure that agricultural trade is not affected by unilateral restrictions and protectionist measures.
Both leaders agreed to work together for the expansion of India-Mercosur PTA during Brazil's Mercosur presidency. The leaders welcomed the increased defence cooperation between India and Brazil and encouraged the defence industries to explore new collaboration avenues and commence joint projects and build supply chain resilience.
