Varanasi To Host G20 Development Ministers' Meet: S Jaishankar

G20 Meeting 2023: Mr Jaishankar said that the whole set of institutions, ideas and campaigns are coming out of India.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Saturday said Varanasi will host the G20 development ministers' meeting.

Addressing students at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) on Saturday, Mr Jaishankar said, "Kashi is one of the important venues for the G20 meetings. And one of the meetings, the development ministers' meeting that I will chair, will be held here."

"So you will be more likely to see me on the streets of Varanasi," he added.

Mr Jaishankar further said India has become more dominant, regionally. Earlier, the world used to see India and Pakistan on equal terms but not anymore, not even Pakistan, the EAM said, adding that India came out in the region as the primary power.
