'To reach consensus, we must be realistic,' says Norwegian Prime Minister on mentioning wars in G20 final text
Speaking with journalists in Rio, Jonas Gahr Støre noted that the draft of the leaders' declaration does not cite individual conflicts like those in Ukraine and Gaza to 'find solutions' According to Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, realism is essential to reach a consensus on the G20 heads of state and government final declaration when addressing sensitive topics like the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The summit of the group, comprising the 19 largest economies in the world, the European Union, and the African Union, begins this Monday in Rio. Norway is one of the eight countries invited by Brazil to participate in this year's G20 meetings and summits. — I saw the draft declarations, and they do not address individual conflicts in terms of finding solutions — Støre told journalists on Sunday night at a closed event — If you want to reach a consensus on the declaration among these 20 countries, you have to be realistic. But obviously, conflicts in the Middle East, Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar, and many others will be discussed behind the scenes here in Rio. G20 Social: Final statement advocates taxing the ultra-wealthy and condemns far-right misinformation In the spirit of Rio: Norway's Prime Minister prepares cod fritters and serves them at a Santa Teresa restaurant; video The prime minister advocates for the immediate end of the war in Ukraine, which began in February 2022 following the Russian invasion. However, he also supports Kyiv's use of long-range missiles as a means of defense against Moscow's aggression, "respecting international law by distinguishing between civilians and military" in their attacks. — Russia invaded a democratic and sovereign state, and this invasion must end — declared Støre. — Ukraine is hit every day and night by missiles and drones, long-range artillery, destroying electricity and civilian infrastructure, in addition to the terrible fighting on the front line. Ukraine has the right to defend itself against this aggression. The United States authorized Ukraine on Sunday to use American-made long-range missiles against Russian territory, meeting a longstanding request from Kyiv that had been blocked due to fears of a more direct North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) involvement in the conflict. The request was granted after Moscow launched a "massive" attack on Ukraine's power grid on Sunday, amid concerns over the harsh winter soon to arrive in the country, and as more than 50,000 Russian troops—including 10,000 North Koreans—are moving to retake Kursk, a region in southern Russia seized by Ukrainian forces in a surprise counteroffensive earlier this year. — We all wish to see the war end and a diplomatic solution, but this cannot happen without Ukraine in the driver's seat. And the sooner that happens, the better — concluded Norway's prime minister.
