Rio de Janeiro, Nov 20 (SocialNews.XYZ) Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the leaders at the G20 Summit “deepened global collaboration” for a better future.
He said this before leaving the Brazilian city for Guyana on Tuesday.
“We had engaging conversations and deepened global collaboration in areas like sustainable development, growth, fighting poverty, and harnessing technology for a better future”, he said before his departure.
At the summit, he presented India’s progress in overcoming poverty and fighting climate change and offered to share the country’s expertise.
With India emerging as the voice of the Global South, he reiterated strongly the calls for reforming global institutions and finding a fair and just way to share the burdens of fighting climate change.
