New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday attended the G20 Summit in Delhi wearing an eye patch. The 65-year-old sported a new look after he injured his face while jogging last Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to his spokesperson, Mr Scholz has suffered minor injuries and will have to wear the eye patch for the next few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite the injury, Mr Scholz — who has been a regular runner for several years — was in good form, his spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit had said on Monday while addressing the media.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, the German Chancellor had also posted a picture on X<\/a> (formerly known as Twitter) showing him wearing a large black patch over his right eye, with red scrape marks visible around the edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n “Thanks for the well wishes. It looks worse than it is!” he wrote under the picture on his official account.<\/p>\n “Excited to see the memes,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n Wer den Schaden hat\u2026 \u2014 Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz (@Bundeskanzler) September 4, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted world leaders for the G20 summit<\/a> in New Delhi today. He shook hands and gave warm hugs to the world leaders who will now hold discussions on Ukraine, climate change and other contentious global issues.<\/p>\n It is notable that the G20 is a group of world’s 20 major countries that was formed after the Asian financial crisis in 1999 on the understanding that crises spilling across borders needed better international economic co-operation to tackle them.<\/p>\n It includes Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United States and the European Union.<\/p>\n The bloc accounts for 80% of global gross domestic product (GDP) and 75% of international trade.<\/p>\n Although only treasury chiefs met in initial years, the heads of all member nations decided to meet once a year<\/a> for a summit after the 2008 financial crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
