With 112 outcomes, G20 India the 'most ambitious' in the group's history: Amitabh Kant as 'Delhi Declaration' adopted

G20 Summit 2023: Soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that G20 members had arrived at a consensus to adopt the 'Delhi Declaration', India's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said this demonstrated the PM's leadership in today's world. He called the declaration "historical and path-breaking". Kant said 100 per cent consensus was achieved on all developmental and geo-political issues, something that was hard to expect considering sharp divisions between the West and Russia-China on the war in Ukraine.
