00:00Secretary Marco Rubio just wrapped up his 40-minute press conference at the end, at the conclusion of the G20
00:07summit here in Atlanta.
00:08And he touched upon a lot of topics, starting from Iran, you know, the fact that Iran is attacking sailor
00:16ships.
00:16He also talked about how Indian sailors, Indian seafarers have been attacked and Iran continues to do that.
00:22And that topic was discussed.
00:23He also talked about supply chain.
00:25He talked about food security. He talked about how India is stepping up with Turkey to ensure that there is
00:31a plan to be able to have supply chain when it comes to food grains in place in the crisis
00:39that's unfolding both on the Russian and Ukraine front and also on the crisis in the Middle East.
00:45He also talked about how the G20 summit has allowed leaders to voice their concerns, although there hasn't been agreement
00:55on a lot of things.
00:56But still, it was a forum and it is a forum that remains where 80 percent of world's economies come
01:02together and discuss issues that matter.
01:04That also included talks on making sure to keep pursuing peace for both the wars to ensure that there could
01:13be a conversation on ending those wars.
01:18He also, answering a question, talked about how Russian President Vladimir Putin is invited by the President of the United
01:25States to attend the G20 summit in Florida,
01:29but saying that we haven't seen a confirmation yet, so we do not know yet if President Putin is going
01:35to be traveling.
01:36A lot had been also mentioned or talked about at the G20 here in Atlanta about how the foreign minister
01:43from Russia, Lavrov, was invited.
01:46And he, when he was in attendance, the whole nation tried its best.
01:50America tried its best to have a family photo, but that was not allowed.
01:54A lot of western nations objected to it.
01:56So, Secretary Mark Rubin, in the end, then decided not to have a family photo here at G20 in Atlanta.
02:04Again, this was the last summit, last big summit of the ministerial lane, as to say.
02:11Now we head on to G20 in Miami, where the leaders summit will take place.
02:15Hopefully, we could possibly see an agreement on a joint communique there, but we still do not know if that's
02:22possible or not.
02:23We were also told that there is a reluctance from the Chinese on certain areas, and that would be hopefully
02:29discussed in the next few weeks.
02:32Overall, a very interesting G20 summit.
02:35Not a whole lot of tangible outcomes, but progression and continuation of things we've heard in the past about energy
02:42supply, energy security, global supply chains.
02:45And as such, we'll have to wait and watch as to what happens in Miami, something that the leaders have
02:52been talking for for a while.
02:54There were a lot of also bilaterals, bilats that took place in the foreign minister, also held a lot of
02:59bilats.
02:59And we'll get into details of those as well.
03:01But from the United States perspective, the G20 is now heading into its final lap with December 14th and 15th
03:10in Miami.
03:11This is Rohit Sharma for India Today.
03:13This is Rohit Sharma.
