India was given the G20 presidency by Indonesia on Wednesday during the Bali summit, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi describing it as a source of pride for all Indians.
The two-day G20 Summit in this city came to an end with a quick ceremony in which Indonesian President Joko Widodo passed the presidency to Prime Minister Modi.
Along with every nation’s efforts, we can turn the G20 meeting into an engine for advancing human welfare, Modi claimed.
The joint declaration was completed while the handover ceremony took place.
Vinay Kwatra, India’s foreign secretary, said earlier that India had made “positive contributions” to the creation of the G20 “outcome document.”
The member states’ delegations disagreed on how to describe the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Kiev’s western supporters reportedly wanting an unambiguous denunciation of Moscow.
An initial worry was that the member states might not concur on a final document. All G20 members must agree before a declaration may be made.
The declaration was not made public right away. Although the Summit’s primary agenda was concluded in the afternoon, some country heads, including India, scheduled bilateral meetings for the following day.
Modi was scheduled to leave Bali in the evening.
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, UK, US, and the European Union are among the 19 nations that make up the G20.
The presidency will be “inclusive,” according to Prime Minister Modi, and will represent emerging nations.
The next summit will be held in New Delhi on September 9-10.
The Indian team, led by the prime minister, “played a crucial role,” according to Foreign Secretary Kwatra, in resolving disagreements over the “outcome paper.”
He said the “particular global context” was reflected in the consensus documents.
He claimed that a “successful” ending was made possible by Modi’s view that this is not a time for war and his support for diplomacy and negotiation.
His message helped in consensus building, Kwatra said.
In the early hours of the day, Macron and Emmanuel met with Modi. Prior to departing for Delhi, he had bilateral meetings planned with the presidents of Indonesia, the UK, Australia, Germany, and Singapore during the closing ceremony.
On Tuesday, he had brief formal meetings with US President Joe Biden and Indonesian President Widodo.
The handshake between Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a dinner on Tuesday night was described by the foreign secretary as a “exchange of pleasantries.”
