Beijing says no G20 member can expel others

Beijing, March 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin commented on Wednesday on potential plans of the US and Western allies to kick Russia out of the G20 in the wake of its military offensive in Ukraine.

"G20 is the main forum for international economic cooperation, bringing together the world"s major economies. Russia is an important member, and no member has the right to expel other countries," he said, RT reported.

Wang said that at the moment, the global economy is at a critical stage, recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, while instability and uncertainty are rising. According to the spokesman, the G20 countries are responsible in particular for the world's economic "stability and recovery".

Wang suggested that the G20 countries should work on multilateralism, solidarity, and cooperation to address the harsh economic and financial problems, as well as making "positive contributions to the realization of strong, green and healthy global development".

On Tuesday, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the question of Russia's membership in the G20 would be discussed with Western allies, adding that "it cannot be business as usual for Russia in international institutions".

The comment was made in the context of US President Joe Biden's trip to Brussels for an emergency NATO summit on Thursday.
