NEW DELHI, OCT 07, 2021: UNION Minister of Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs & Food & Public Distribution and Textiles, Piyush Goyal, has said the pandemic has remodelled several G20 priorities. Addressing the Inaugural Session of the ICRIER's 13th Annual International G-20 Conference, Mr Goyal said, "We must keep rethinking, reimagining and recreating our own processes and thinking to be an important stakeholder in a new world order."
Mr Goyal called for pursuing a more inclusive and equitable agenda at the G20.
“For the next few years, Developing Countries like ours will be leading the organization, Indonesia next year, followed by India. It is a unique opportunity for all of us to inject a more inclusive and equitable agenda at the G20. By acting in tandem in this “Decade of Action”, G20 will play a pivotal role to achieve all SDGs. We have to strengthen global institutions which are more representative & inclusive e.g. WTO, UNFCCC etc. We have to build synergies with like-minded partners to bring out a strong statement on Climate Action,” he said.
