ATLANTA — A two-day meeting of G20 foreign ministers ended without consensus on major international security issues, with the United States issuing a chair's statement instead of a joint communiqué.
The meeting was held in Atlanta on October 30 and 31. Ministers discussed energy security, supply-chain resilience and geopolitical tensions, including security concerns involving the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Differences over Russia's war in Ukraine were among the main points of disagreement. Several European diplomats declined to take part in the traditional group photograph because of the presence of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The discussions also covered tensions involving Iran, US trade tariffs and China's actions in the South China Sea.
Although the meeting produced no broad agreement on the major disputes, the chair's statement highlighted areas for continued cooperation, including energy security and reliable supply chains.
The meeting was held ahead of the G20 leaders' summit scheduled to take place in Miami in December.
