The group of 20 leading developed and emerging economies will continue their diplomatic talks at the G20 summit in India on Sunday but no other major resolutions are expected.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited the memorial site for the Indian freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi in the capital New Delhi in the morning (Sunday).
At the end of the two-day summit, the third working session of the roundtable will be held under the motto “One Future.”
The goal is to discuss concrete terms on how to deal with issues such as reforms of development banks and international financial organisations.

No other major joint decisions are expected after G20 leaders reached a compromise on Saturday and agreed on a joint summit declaration.
Before the breakthrough was announced, negotiators reported difficulty finding enough consensus to issue a traditional summit declaration, outlining policy areas of concern and direction for the forum’s activities.
In the end, softer wording on Russia’s war in Ukraine got the document across the finish line.
Moscow was able to avoid language in the document that explicitly condemned the invasion of its neighbour as it was at last year’s G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, when a “complete and unconditional withdrawal” from Ukraine was demanded of Russia.

Ukraine’s Western allies negotiated a line about the need for all states to refrain from attacks on the territorial integrity or political independence of other states.
In addition, Russia’s nuclear weapons threats were indirectly criticised.
Diplomats saw the wording as an agreement on the lowest common denominator – but this prevented the summit from failing.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described the final wording about Ukraine in the joint declaration as a success.
