Russian Economic Development Minister Maxim Reshetnikov has called for joint G20 efforts to address distortions in global trade, according to state news agency TASS.
Reshetnikov stressed that dialogue and joint decisions within the G20 framework should not be used to legitimize measures that individual member states adopt unilaterally at the national level, arguing instead for a more coordinated multilateral approach.
The remarks come as G20 members continue to navigate tensions over tariffs, export controls and other trade measures that have proliferated in recent years amid broader geopolitical friction.
Russia has consistently used G20 and other multilateral forums to argue against what it characterizes as unilateral economic measures by Western nations, a framing that ties into its broader response to sanctions imposed since 2022.
No specific new proposals or agreements were announced alongside the minister's comments, which were presented as part of Russia's ongoing position within G20 trade discussions.
