Argentina Refuses to Sign Final G20 Declaration
According to Argentina, the principle of consensus, a fundamental pillar of the G20, has been "violated." The country regretted that the text was considered adopted without the agreement of all members, including itself.
Buenos Aires also cited substantial disagreements, particularly regarding the conflict in the Middle East. Argentina argued that the document presented a "partial" vision that omitted the regional context and the deep-rooted structural causes, which it deemed essential for a just, lasting, and balanced peace.
Pretoria, for its part, considers Argentina's non-approval normal, William Baloyi, director of the South African government press office, told Sputnik.
"Argentina was the only country to have expressed reservations," Baloyi stated, adding that efforts to reach a consensus could continue at upcoming G20 summits.
