Udaipur (Raj), December 4 (PTI) The first Sherpa assembly India’s G20 presidency began here on Sunday, which would give New Delhi a chance to advance the timeline of the next countries to next September’s leaders’ summit.
Sherpa Amitabh Kant of India set the tone for the assembly by pointing out issues such as charting a course for inclusive, resilient and sustainable growth, accelerating speed to create better livelihoods, and physical care and quality of life as the world recovers from COVID. -19 pandemic.
“We are going through a major geopolitical crisis. We have noticed the collapse of global supply chains, countries suffering from debt development and the great crisis of climate action and climate finance,” Kant said on a secondary occasion on the Sustainable Development Goals at the first G20 Sherpa assembly here.
Earlier, in an informal verbal exchange with reporters, Kant said the G20 presidency had given India the opportunity to include the issue of upcoming countries in the timeline of the multilateral forum.
“Previously, we used to get pieces on the timeline of the evolved global. Now we want to set the timetable for the G20 meeting. We will tell the global that we are the mother of democracy,” Kant said.
The discussion of the four-day assembly will focus on economics and finance with the International Monetary Fund giving a presentation on the global economic stage, with Kant sharing India’s priorities with his G20 counterparts, with Department of Economic Affairs Secretary Ajay Seth highlighting Finance Piste priorities.
Leaders of G20 member countries, guest countries (Bangladesh, Egypt, Mauritius, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Oman, Singapore, Spain and the United Arab Emirates) and representatives of foreign organizations attend the four-day assembly in this picturesque lakeside town.
Issues such as technological transformation, green development, highlighting women-led development, accelerating the implementation of the SDGs and facilitating inclusive and resilient expansion were highlighted in India from its calendar for the G20 presidency.
The Sherpa meetings will aim to build consensus on key cross-cutting issues, which will be discussed in the G20 painting streams for inclusion in the leaders’ declaration, which will be presented at the G20 summit in New Delhi next year, Kant said.
Sherpas, non-public emissaries of G20 leaders, will oversee negotiations to reach consensus on key issues facing the world. There are thirteen other running teams known as Sherpa Tracks, in addition to the resilience and crisis threat relief team brought across India for its presidency.
The Working Group on Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction is due to the fact that G20 countries are highly exposed to crisis risks.
The ongoing organization inspires G20 collective paintings, adopts multidisciplinary studies, and exchanges more productive practices on crisis threat reduction.
During the meeting, India will provide the most sensitive priorities of all participating teams and listen to perspectives from G20 countries, visitors and foreign organizations, according to an official statement.
Assembly discussions will focus on five overarching thematic areas: generational transformation, green development and LiFE, accelerated, inclusive and resilient growth, multilateralism and food, fuels and fertilizers, women-led development, tourism and culture.
A “Chai pe Charcha” will also be organized to foster deeper conversations and ties between G20 member countries and their Sherpas.
The first Sherpa assembly under the presidency of India plans to offer delegates an exclusive “Indian experience” through cultural performances, art exhibitions and destination tours, adding the UNESCO World Heritage Site Kumbhalgarh Fort and the Ranakpur Temple complex.
