Russian President Vladimir Putin conveyed to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi his decision to abstain from attending the upcoming G20 Summit scheduled to be hosted by India. The summit, which is slated to convene in the capital city of Delhi from September 9 to 10, has drawn global attention as leaders from the world\u2019s most affluent nations, along with the European Union, come together to discuss critical global issues. During a telephone conversation, President Putin personally informed Indian Prime Minister Modi of his unavailability to attend the summit. Instead, Putin announced that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov would represent the nation at the international gathering on his behalf. The interaction between the two leaders also encompassed discussions on a range of pressing \u201cregional and global issues of mutual concern,\u201d as disclosed in a statement released by the Indian government. The decision of President Putin not to attend was initially attributed to a \u201cbusy schedule,\u201d as stated by a spokesperson from the Russian government in the preceding week.
