Kant said it was a great honor for India to take over the G20 presidency at a time of crisis.
“India took over the G20 presidency at a time of crisis. But we believe that every crisis is a great opportunity, and leadership is, in fact, about finding breakthrough solutions in crisis. So we strongly believe that we should really accelerate the implementation of Sustaining the pace of development goals. That’s why today’s discussion started…I think that responsibility is a great honor,” he added.
