G20 Summit in Brazil: Lula da Silva's geopolitical maneuvers and China's demonstrative refusal to engage in global de-escalation talks until Donald Trump's inauguration

The 19th G20 Leadership Summit was held in Rio de Janeiro on November 18-19, 2024. As a result, the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, an initiative of Brazil supported by 81 countries, was officially launched.

Other agreements included promising to increase climate security spending and considering a unified approach to taxing the "ultra-rich."

At the same time, apart from a call for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza, the final declaration of the G20 summit did not contain any urgent geopolitical theses.

This was due to the decision of the summit's host, Brazilian President Lula da Silva, to cut short the discussion of the final declaration to prevent positions in support of Ukraine and Indo-Pacific democracies from being included in the final text.
