China remains committed to reshaping the global order with Russia, and Beijing knows developing countries are the key to that effort.

One has only to look at a map of the countries that abstained from U.N. resolutions condemning Russia for the invasion to see this pattern in action. Second, Wang denounced “double standards” on sovereignty and territorial integrity. During that meeting, Wang expounded on China’s “three concerns over the situation in Ukraine,” which China’s Foreign Ministry released as a separate readout. Wang didn’t specify what this “interference” was, but the implication is that Beijing is proud of its commitment to uphold ties with Moscow, despite pressure from the West. Ukraine only received a brief mention in the Chinese readout, which said Lavrov had discussed the current situation and Russia’s position. Things did not go particularly well — Lavrov walked out of the G-20 meeting altogether on Friday, complaining that Western governments were only interested in “frenzied” criticism of Russia.

We can work together to avert the crisis in food security and to meet the challenge of climate change. Australia believes that we, as members of the G20, must work to strengthen our multilateral cooperation. It is also a profound breach of trust. A world that is peaceful, predictable and where sovereignty is respected. And I commend Ministers for working with Minister Marsudi to come together in support of Indonesia's Presidency and to ‘recover together, recover stronger. They breach this trust.
