Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on October 14 said no issue can be viewed in isolation, particularly in an interconnected world, even as the G-20 Parliamentary Speakers' Summit (P-20) saw leaders raising the West Asia conflict and other geo-political issues.
In his closing statement at the P-20 Summit, Mr. Birla noted that some members mentioned significant global challenges and recent geopolitical developments during the two-day deliberations that concluded here on Saturday.
He said several members moved away from the agenda of development listed for deliberations and raised matters related to global challenges and economic issues.
