ROME -- U.S. and European leaders took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of Indo-Pacific and engage with regional partners at the start of the Group of 20 leaders summit here Saturday, as relations fray between China and Western powers.

The two-day summit is the first in-person meeting in two years of the leaders of the world's top rich and developing nations, though several leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and the new Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, are attending remotely.
