World leaders urge peace in Ukraine and Middle East at G20 summit
World leaders at the G20 summit in Brazil called for peace in the Ukraine-Russia war and de-escalation in the Middle East. This comes as Russia claimed Ukraine launched American-made long-range missiles into its territory. The G20 statement expressed concern over global conflicts and emphasized humanitarian aid for Gaza. It affirmed the Palestinian right to self-determination and supported a two-state solution, while also addressing climate finance negotiations. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss trade and military cooperation. Modi invited Albanese to India for a future Quad leaders' meeting, despite India's growing ties with Russia.
