G20 Foreign Ministers Skip Photo Session Amid Russia Objections

POLICY WIRE — Atlanta, USA — G20 foreign ministers are skipping the scheduled photo session in Atlanta because several delegations, including Australia, the United Kingdom and others, declined to appear alongside Russia’s representative.

The United States announced the cancellation, noting the absence of the Russian minister in the group portrait would signal the country’s exclusion from the collective image.

The decision underscores the diplomatic tension surrounding Russia’s presence at the summit and the reluctance of several members to associate visibly with the Russian delegation.
