Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said India’s presidency of the G20 has left a strong legacy with Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) being integrated into the G20 Financial Inclusion Action Plan (FIAP).
“Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) has also been integrated into the G20 Financial Inclusion Action Plan (FIAP) which will run between 2024 and 2026; that is a strong legacy of the Indian presidency,” Sitharaman said, addressing the media.
The G20 Leaders, who have convened in New Delhi for their annual summit over the weekend, have recognised and agreed on the critical role of safe, secure, trusted, accountable and inclusive digital public infrastructure.
“We welcome the G20 Framework for Systems of Digital Public Infrastructure, a voluntary and suggested framework for the development, deployment and governance of DPI," according to the G20 New Delhi Leaders' Declaration.
They also endorsed fostering digital ecosystems, and harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) responsibly for the 'Good and for All'.
