main takeaway from brics
summit: india holds best geopolitical position globally.

leadership role in global south
stabilizing relations with china
strong relations across g7 (exc canada)
friendly with russia, no backlash from west

no other major economy is close to being friends with pretty much everyone

Humility isn't a sign of low self-esteem. It's a mark of high self-awareness.

The goal isn't to deny your strengths. It's to see your strengths & shortcomings accurately. The first rule of improvement: recognize room for improvement.

Narcissism feeds ego. Humility fuels growth.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Arguably the most important skill is controlling your attention. This goes beyond merely avoiding distractions. The deeper skill is finding the highest and best use for your time, given what is important to you. More than anything else, controlling your attention is about being able to figure out what you should be working on and identifying what truly moves the needle.

@DrSJaishankar Our heartfelt congratulations to @DrSJaishankar @amitabhk87 @MEAIndia @g20org @G20_Bharat on the success of India's G20 presidency - be it the adoption of the New Delhi Leaders' Declaration or the inclusion of the African Union as a permanent member.

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

The G20 Summit and its bilateral meetings concluded today in New Delhi.

The New Delhi Declaration shows that our Presidency was able to table ideas, shape global issues, bridge divides and forge consensus. We kept the focus on Global South.

We showcased our civilizational heritage even as we highlighted contemporary achievements.

Landmark initiatives launched included the Global Biofuel Alliance and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC).

Key 5️⃣ outcomes:

1️⃣ Green Development Pact

2️⃣ Action Plan on Sustainable Development Goals

3️⃣ High level principles on Anti Corruption

4️⃣ Support for Digital Public Infrastructure

5️⃣ Reform of Multilateral Development Banks

The G20 membership of the African Union was a major achievement.

PM @narendramodi’s vision gave the Summit a clear direction for growth and development in the years ahead.

[SUKH DEO MUNI @SDMUNI]

Proud of JNU products like Amitabh Kant, Dr Jaishanker and Nirmala Sitaraman for pulling through G-20 Consensus. Hope the words of Joint Statement are translated into concrete actions in the coming months and years.
