India’s G20 presidency will reflect interests of global south, says EAM S Jaishankar
New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said New Delhi would like to use the G20 presidency of the group to reflect interests and concerns today of the global south.
Jaishankar made these remarks during the annual flagship event co-hosted by the Ministry of External Affairs and Carnegie India. The theme for this year’s Summit is Geopolitics of Technology, reports ANI.
“India would like to use the presidency of G20 in many ways to reflect interests and concerns today of the global south as we feel they’re being sidelined and not just be a voice but would like to take into global south something we’ve tested and prepared at home,” EAM was quoted as saying by ANI at Global Tech Summit.
He made the remarks during a question-and-answer session at the event.
On the issue of climate change, Jaishankar said, “Since 2014 there’s been a different kind of approach to climate change in terms of our policies, advocacies, energy mix… When it comes to climate tech, India has a range of possibilities… There are Indian businesses in climate in COP now.”
“We’re actually already seeing the impact of climate events and climate change on politics. An example would be- the big debate today in Europe is if it will be able to survive the winter from the energy perspective,” he added.
India will assume the Presidency of the G20 for one year from Dec 1 to Nov 30.
