G-7 were the old gang, G-20 started to feel a bit like old British Commonon Wealth but then Putin attacks Ukraine with an invasion, Hindu India Nationalism guy is Chairman (Incumbent) then China sees itself as a power, France was always a pain the the ass then add Brazil, Indonesia, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey and its something of a disaster.
its over but maybe 'The Show Must Go On' and Ursula von der Leyen, Andrés Manuel López, Nirmala Sitharaman, Janet Yellen, Chrystia Freeland, Sri Mulyani and Christine Lagarde want to keep it all together.

Seems the USA and EU thought it could muscle a condemnation of Russia out of the G20 (especially with Xi's and Putin's absence), but the best they could manage was a "Well, different nations hold different ideas" in the final text.
Apparently the USA and EU felt that if they hadn't conceded to such a weak final statement, many attendees would have left, and the G20 would have become irrelevant compared to the BRICS.
Looks like the world is waking up to the idea of emperors walking around naked.

The G20 leaders have agreed a joint declaration, Narendra Modi announced on Saturday, alleviating fears that disagreements over the Russia-Ukraine war would prevent a consensus for the first time.
Speaking at an afternoon session of the G20 summit in Delhi, the Indian prime minister said he had “just got the good news that due to the hard work of our teams and your cooperation, a consensus has been reached on the New Delhi G20 leaders’ summit declaration”.
To loud applause, Modi said the declaration had been officially adopted.
He said it meant this year’s G20 was “the most ambitious in the history of G20. With 112 outcomes and presidency documents, we have more than doubled the substantive work from previous presidencies”.
However, there was a noticeable softening of the language around Russia’s role in the Ukraine war compared to last year. All references to Russia, Russian aggression and Russia’s withdrawal in relation to the war in Ukraine that featured in last year’s joint statement at the G20 summit in Bali were removed.
Quote:
Instead, the declaration emphasised that states must “refrain from the threat or use of force to seek territorial acquisition” and that “the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible”.
Amitabh Kant, India’s G20 representative, said there was “100% consensus from all countries” on all 83 paragraphs in the declaration.
According to Kant, in order to reach a consensus, there was over 200 hours of “very tough, very ruthless negotiations”. Kant said that Brazil and South Africa, the next two G20 presidents, had played a key role in getting Russia to agree to the language, as well as Indonesia, Turkey and Mexico. A senior EU official said that by Saturday, Russia was “cornered” in the negotiations.
The declaration signifies a major win for India, which holds this year’s G20 presidency. It has been a particularly challenging year for the group, which represents the world’s largest economies, as Russia and China had proved intransigent in discussions around the Ukraine war, climate and energy, derailing attempts for a consensus in previous ministerial meetings.
