HAMPI: With the UN becoming “unwieldy” and “non-functional”, the G-20 has emerged as the most responsive body to address key challenges facing the world. In this context, New Delhi has not shied away from bringing all major global issues to the “centrestage” during its presidency of the grouping, India’s G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said on July 17.
He said India has been acting as an “agent of change” in the G-20 and that it is confident of building consensus to address critical developmental issues such as climate financing, debt vulnerabilities, ensuring progress on sustainable development goals and evolving a framework for digital public infrastructure.
In an interview after the conclusion of the third G-20 Sherpas’ meeting, he said the Russia-Ukraine conflict is restricted to a certain part of the world and the Indian Presidency’s focus has been entirely on the developmental agenda and to deal with issues facing the Global South.
