The representatives of the US, Russia, China, Britain, France, and representatives of the 20 main world economies were present at the conference.

India’s Foreign Minister Dr S Jaishankar

India’s Foreign Minister Dr S Jaishankar said in his address at the conference. The G20 nations have a great responsibility. This is the first time that we have come together during this challenging situation in the world. There is fear of a recurrence of the Covid pandemic, the Russian- Ukraine War, Climate change, and numerous other dangerous situations. We may not have a united opinion on many of these issues, but we have to get together and find solutions to these problems.
