OREANDA-NEWS  Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida decided to convince India to turn away from Russia and take tough measures against Moscow. Bloomberg writes about this.

The Japanese leader is expected to turn to India for help in building a broader and stronger coalition during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to the Japanese official, Kishida intends to "better understand India's position as a developing country." New Delhi declined to comment on Tokyo's desire to find a common language with regard to Russia.

While India is in a military standoff with China along the disputed border in the Himalayas, Japan has clashed with China over ownership of islands in the East China Sea. Tokyo and New Delhi are concerned about Beijing's assertiveness in the region and are deepening their defense and strategic relations.

Earlier, Modi said that the Group of Twenty (G20) does not achieve the main goals of global settlement, preventing wars and promoting international cooperation on common issues. The politician acknowledged the failure of the G20 in resolving global tensions.

On the eve of the G20 summit, representatives of Russia, India and China tried to come to a consensus on how to name a special military operation in Ukraine in official documents, but they did not come to an agreement. This forced India to publish the summary of the chairman of the summit instead of the traditional joint communique. At the same time, Russia and China rejected the wording "war".
