Guterres expressed concern over high levels of mistrust between countries

“We see a dangerous level of mistrust between the major world powers, between developed and developing countries,” TASS quoted Guterres as saying.

The main task of the G20 summit in Rome will be to restore trust between states, he said.

“This can be done by eradicating the source of mistrust, which lies in injustice, inequality and geopolitical contradictions,” added Guterres.

Earlier, the Kremlin announced Putin's participation in the G20 summit via video link.
