G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant while talking about the 4th G20 Sherpa Meeting, said, “The negotiations will continue for the next 4 days 24 hours a day… We have major issues of climate and energy… We are discussing the issues of which there was no agreement from the ministerial… There are many views and we are making them human-centric… Our message is very clear, ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, one earth, one family, one future… We have asked all nations that we should work with the same spirit…”
The G20 Sherpa further said that the PM has “instructed us that the communique should be inclusive”. “I can assure you that it would be inclusive, decisive, ambitious and action-oriented… We will go ahead with PM’s vision… G20 will have a multiplier impact on international and domestic tourism… Every person that has come is saying that they never had an experience like India… There are many issues like crypto and AI that need international cooperation, and we are working on that…” he said.
