The Prime Minister received a colourful welcome as he arrived in India to attend the G20 leaders’ summit.
Rishi Sunak has said he will use the G20 summit to “put pressure” on Moscow, amid global concerns over the blockade of grain out of Ukraine.
“One of the priorities I have being here is to highlight the impact of Russia’s war on millions of vulnerable people around the world. And that’s the impact of food prices.” “I’ll be highlighting that devastating impact so that people are aware of what’s happening and put pressure on Russia to cease attacking civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.”Mr Putin has said the deal, brokered by Turkey and the United Nations, will not be restored until the West meets Moscow’s demands on its own agricultural exports.
Mr Sunak conceded that “it may not be that everyone here agrees on everything” when asked about the difficulty of finding consensus among the grouping. The Prime Minister and his wife, Akshata Murty, daughter of billionaire Indian IT giant Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murty, were greeted by traditional dancers and music as they disembarked from RAF Voyager at Indira Gandhi Airport on Friday.
