Jaishankar Warns G20 Against Disrupting Global Energy Trade, Highlights Impact on Developing Nations
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has urged G20 countries to keep global energy markets open and predictable, warning that sanctions, shipping bottlenecks and attacks on energy infrastructure are worsening supply disruptions.
Speaking at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Atlanta, hosted by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jaishankar said the current energy crisis is not simply about low production. Unpredictable supplies, rising costs and difficulties in accessing fuel are creating serious challenges, particularly for low-income and developing countries.
He also highlighted India’s need for reliable LPG supplies for clean cooking, stressing that energy disruptions can affect ordinary households. Jaishankar called on the G20 to show leadership, improve energy access and support stronger storage and alternative energy solutions.
His remarks reflect India’s long-standing position that energy security and access to affordable fuel should not be dictated solely by geopolitical rivalries. The meeting took place amid continuing tensions in West Asia and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
