G20 Presidency An Opportunity To Share India's Story: S Jaishankar

"It is also the time we become the voice of the Global South," he added.

As India formally assumes the G20 presidency today, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the event offers an opportunity to share India's story with others.

Speaking at the University Connect Programme at the Sushma Swaraj Bhawan in New Delhi, Mr Jaishankar said there are very good reasons why today's world is taking a much deeper interest in India.

"G20 presidency offers an opportunity to share our story with others, particularly those who may transpose some of our experiences on their performance or challenges," he said at the event, attended by high-level delegates including G20's India Coordinator, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, and G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant.

"It is also the time we become the voice of the Global South."
