JAKARTA - The G20 summit in Bali ended in Russia's victory, as Moscow's stance was taken into account and there was no Western dominance, Russia's G20 Sherpa Svetlana Lukash said in an interview with Vedomosti, published on Tuesday.
"I think we have won in Bali. Russia's stance finds its reflection and Western view is no longer dominant," said Lukash, citing TASS November 29.
"In addition, any cooperation, any interaction, or joint achievement creates a wave of further positive changes," added Lukash.
"So I'm not ruling out that Russia will see more support from other countries after this work at the G20, and that could have a positive impact on bilateral relations and the international community in general," he said.
He further explained that the adoption of the result declaration during the G20 Bali Summit showed that the G7 no longer dominated.
"G7, of course, is more consolidated (compared to other G20 countries). They got together first and made some decisions together, like how they intend to ignore someone. But they failed and the declaration once again showed, by the way, their voices no longer dominate the G20," said Lukash.
According to helpa, the main issues that require consensus to adopt the outcome declaration are, the situation in Ukraine and the agreement on grains.
"Those are two key elements and ultimately, two keys to Russia's victory and the developing economy," he said.
He underlined that the adopted language was fully in line with Russia's interests and "not to let Western voices dominate."
"Throughout this year, the West is trying to prove that Russia and military operations in particular are to blame for all the ongoing crises in the food and energy market. However, the text of the declaration proves otherwise," said Lukash.
Sherpa noted that the countries had stated their position on the situation in Ukraine, including in the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly, which "allows to avoid a special assessment of the Ukraine conflict by the G20 itself."
There are more than 50 paragraphes in the declaration adopted after the G20 summit. Among other things, the document reflects various views on Ukraine.
The document does contain "threats, but not against Russia, but against war itself," the official said.
Lukash noted that Bali's declaration "recognizable differences of opinion on the conflict in Ukraine and regarding the role of sanctions."
