As India hosts the #G20Summit2023 in New Delhi, I share my thoughts with @IBTimes@BinithaJ on what the Indian Presidency has done differently & how the inclusiveness championed by India will outlast its Presidency! #G20#India
#India brokered agreements that had better representation, and its stewardship has been branded as one of the most inclusive #G20 presidencies.
"The inclusiveness, championed by India, will outlast its presidency," says @UrviTembey#G20Summit2023
