Productive discussions underway at the 1st Sherpa meeting at the majestic Durbar Hall at Taj Fateh Prakash,” India’s G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant tweeted.

The G20 Sherpas, who are representatives of the heads of state and government, and top officials of multilateral institutions such as the United Nations and World Bank are attending a four-day meeting in Udaipur, Rajasthan which began on Sunday.

At an informal media briefing, senior officials reasserted that in spite of facing several global challenges, India will advocate a sense of oneness for all and find solutions collectively with other nations. There was also focus on India’s stand as a voice for the global south.
