Global leaders seek influence at G20 as Xi Jinping strengthens alliances and Albanese promotes trade

abc.net.au November 20, 2024, 07:01 AM UTC

At the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Chinese President Xi Jinping actively engaged with world leaders, seeking to strengthen alliances ahead of a potential return of Donald Trump. Xi's approach included high-profile meetings and significant military presence, contrasting with U.S. President Joe Biden's more subdued role. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese emphasized free trade during his discussions, positioning Australia as a reliable trading partner amid concerns over Trump's anti-trade stance. Albanese's focus on trade aligns with his government's goals to boost jobs and economic stability. While leaders at the G20 and APEC sought consensus on trade and climate issues, divisions remained, particularly regarding the Ukraine war. The summit highlighted shifting global dynamics, with Xi and Indian Prime Minister Modi gaining influence as traditional European leadership wanes.
