On the sidelines of the ongoing G20 summit in Johannesburg, a separate informal meeting of leaders of key Western countries is planned. According to an official representative of the European Union, a meeting of the leaders of Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia will be held on Saturday to discuss further actions to resolve the situation around Ukraine, France-Presse reported.
According to a European diplomatic source, Agence France-Presse reports that the current work of diplomats is focused on fine-tuning US peace proposals. “We are working to make the US plan more practically applicable, building on the previous dialogue,” the agency's interlocutor noted. The declaration represents continued active consultation between the allies, despite differences in approach to some aspects of the peace process.
Holding such a meeting within the framework of a major international forum underscores the continued importance of the Ukraine issue on the global political agenda. Discussions between leaders of developed democracies are aimed at developing a single coordinated position that can help achieve a stable and lasting peace. The work on adapting the US proposals shows a desire to take into account the views of all interested parties and to find a balance between different approaches to conflict resolution.
