'We are observing with admiration': Germany on Lok Sabha election 2024
Lok Sabha Elections 2024: BJP's ‘Sankalp Patra’ Vs Congress's ‘Nyay Patra’ explained in 10 key points He said, “No matter what happens in these elections, no matter who will be winning this election, I think we will see more of India on the international stage. The G20 Presidency gave us a little taste of that. India claims a seat at the big table, and we, Germans and Europeans, think rightfully so.
Whether it's the UNSC or elsewhere, India is, and has to become more visible and recognised." "The New Delhi G20 Leaders' Summit held on September 9-10 brought the deliberations under our G20 Presidency to a successful culmination. With G20 including all P5 countries, and accounting for 85 per cent of global GDP, 75 per cent of world trade and two-thirds of world population, it was the highest profile international gathering in the history of independent India," reads a synopsis on G20 Indian Presidency website. The theme -- 'One Earth, One Family, One Future', drawing upon its age-old belief of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" -- was endorsed by all.
"With over 200 meetings in 60 Indian cities in all our 28 states and 8 UTs, across 40 different mechanisms including Sherpa and Finance Track Working Groups, as well as Engagement Groups, the size, scale and scope of India's G20 Presidency was unprecedented," it says. The German ambassador said it is a role "India deserves", like no other country. "But it is a role, one should not forget that comes with high hopes also.
More than ever, India will be assessed by many. Not only the countries of the so-called 'Global South', but its international appearance and policies will be vetted," Ackermann said. (With agency inputs)Milestone Alert!
