The United States reintegrated Russia into the G20 during the first meeting of the forum since the beginning of the conflict in Iran. The decision to bring Moscow back to the group of the world's largest economies generated international controversy.
Simultaneously, the American organization vetoed the entry of journalists from some media outlets into the meeting, which raised questions about press freedom and the transparency of the event.
These two situations provoked criticism of the American organization by various countries and organizations present at the forum. The combination of Russia's presence and the absence of journalists from certain media was seen as problematic by several participants.
The G20, which brings together the world's largest economies, thus held its first meeting in a context marked by the conflict in Iran, at a particularly sensitive time for international relations.
