India’s current presidency at the G20 is gong to offer a platform to resolve many such issues at the global level. United Nations Resident Coordinator in India, Shombi Sharp, discussed the role of India in the present multilateralism situation. Food, Fuel and fertilizers shortage has engulfed various countries and led to the disruption of supply chains. He highlighted that India and the G20 are uniquely positioned in this time of crisis and are capable enough to bring the countries together.
India’s presidency is based on the guiding principle of inclusiveness, ambition, decisiveness, and is action-orientated. This is the first time G20 will have the highest participation from the non-member countries and international organizations which will further give a boost to collective action towards global issues. Further, India’s guiding principle of women-led development is going to be key factor in inspiring other countries towards gender equality.
