Amitabh Kant, India’s G20 representative, told the Times of India that India would work to unite developing countries. “We will do our best to assist and support Brazil much like Brazil had supported us. We will do our best to bring the emerging markets on board,” Kant stated.
The G20 summit, which includes developed and developing nations, will happen in Rio de Janeiro on November 18-19. The African Union and European Union will also attend. The summit is expected to address challenges like the Russia-Ukraine war, unrest in West Asia, and global economic concerns.
India’s priorities include tackling debt, climate change, and gender equality. The nation will also promote the launch of a global initiative to combat hunger and poverty. India aims to advocate for increased climate finance and reforms to the global trading system.
However, achieving agreement on these issues might be challenging. Disagreements exist on how to address climate change and promote gender equality. The impact of the recent US election on the summit’s outcomes is also uncertain.
