India’s G-20 Presidency was “challenging” as it came amid “a very sharp" East-West polarisation and “very deep” North-South divide, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has said.
The remarks by Mr. Jaishankar came at a special ‘India-UN for Global South: Delivering for Development’ side event he hosted in New York on Saturday on the margins of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
"We meet just a few weeks after the New Delhi G-20 Summit, a summit which took place on the theme of ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’. Now, it was a challenging summit. It was actually a challenging presidency,” he said.
