PM sets out do’s and don’ts to Ministers before G-20
The HinduThe arrival of heads of governments and foreign dignitaries for the G-20 summit being held in New Delhi spurred Prime Minister Narendra Modi to spell out a strict set of “do’s and don’ts” to be observed by his colleagues in the Council of Ministers. On top of the list was a directive that the Ministers use the G-20 shuttle service to reach the summit venue of Bharat Mandapam rather than their official vehicles. At a meeting of the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, in the presence of Mr. Modi, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra made a presentation on protocol and other issues related to the G-20 Summit and the scale at which things were being organised. Apart from asking Ministers to forego the use of their official vehicles in favour of shuttles that will running to the venue at regular intervals, he made them download the G-20 India mobile app and especially use its feature of translation to languages spoken by the various delegates, sources said.
