India’s External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar said that India has walked the talk when it has come to South-South co-operation. Speaking at the India-UN for Global South event in New York on Sunday, Dr Jaishankar said India’s G20 Presidency was a formidable challenge due to the pronounced East-West divide and deep North-South disparities.
He added that India guided the G20 under its presidency towards the welfare of the Global South and the inclusion of the African Union in G20 is a proof of this. He said India will remain an inspiration to others on how to address developmental challenges. The minister said it is becoming clear that geopolitical calculations are impacting basic requirements of countries like food and energy.
Dr Jaishankar is in New York to attend the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. He will address the High-Level Session of the UNGA on 26th September.
