Dawn of a new multilateralism

Today marks 365 days since India assumed the G20 presidency. Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the G20 Leaders' Summit at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on September 9 Assuming the G20 Chair, India sought to offer the world an alternative to the status quo, a shift from GDP-centric to human-centric progress. Inclusivity also infused India’s domestic approach to G20, making it a people’s presidency that befits the world’s largest democracy. At the critical midpoint of the 2030 Agenda, India delivered the G20 2023 Action Plan to Accelerate Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals, taking a cross-cutting, action-oriented approach to interconnected issues, including health, education, gender equality and environmental sustainability. I am delighted that during our Presidency India achieved the extraordinary: It revitalised multilateralism, amplified the voice of the Global South, championed development, and fought for the empowerment of women, everywhere.
