India's G20 presidency has expectations, responsibilities that are exceptional: EAM Jaishankar
Jaishankar on Thursday said India's G20 presidency comes with expectations and responsibilities that are exceptional.
Speaking at an event at Delhi University (DU), the EAM weighed in on what makes India's G20 presidency different. «The first reason is actually the chair.
The fact is, India has assumed the G20 presidency at a time when India is starting to matter more and more to the world. This is partly because of our economic achievements as we are now the fifth-largest economy in the world,» he said.
He added that India, today, is recognised as essential to the global workplace and the global talent pool.
The theme for the DU event was 'G20 Presidency and its Global Impact'.
The programme was presided over by the vice-chancellor of Delhi University, Yogesh Singh.
The EAM said India's G20 presidency matters because it has «demonstrated a capability of helping other countries».
«Therefore India's presidency of the G20 has expectations and responsibilities, which are exceptional,» he said.
India assumed the G20 Presidency from December 1, 2022 will hold the chair till November 30, this year. The theme for India's G20 Presidency this year is "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam", loosely translated to 'One Earth, One Family, One Future'.
