The "bone of contention" is a commonly used idiom that refers to a specific issue or subject of disagreement or conflict between two or more parties.
It represents the central point of contention or the primary cause of the disagreement in a particular situation or discussion.
The "Bali Paragraphs" are a set of points included in the G20 Leaders' Declaration during the G20 Summit held in Bali, Indonesia, in 2018.
These paragraphs address issues related to global economic growth, trade, and investment.
Indian officials imported the "Bali Paragraphs" into India's G20 documents, emphasizing the effort put into formulating them.
The G20 is not a forum for security issues, but for addressing economic matters related to security concerns.
For instance, the impact of the Ukraine war on fuel, food, and fertilizer prices is discussed.
Indian Sherpa Amitabh Kant clarifies that developing countries did not cause the Ukraine conflict, and the war is not India's priority at the G20 summit.
