Prior to the G20 summit taking place here in the national capital, former G20 Sherpa Montek Singh Ahluwalia expressed his hopes that India would have a successful G20 summit. “I hope the G20 is successful. It’s a challenging situation because for the first time, there are international issues on which nations don’t actually concur. However, a lot of the other topics being discussed are extremely pertinent. I am confident that we are focusing on the appropriate problems. The G20 is more like a forum for creating a broad sense of consensus, and then negotiations take place at other forums,” said former Sherpa.
Ahluwalia also emphasized the need for sustainable development, inclusive growth, and a focus on climate change, and he promised to do so during the meeting. On September 9–10, India will host the G20 Leaders Summit in its capital at the recently opened Bharat Mandapam. More than 30 heads of state and other senior government representatives from the European Union, invited guest nations, 14 heads of international organizations, and more are present at the summit. India hopes to accomplish the dual goals of bringing the African Union into the G20 and resolving differences over a joint statement regarding the conflict in Ukraine at the Summit.
