The Sherpa meeting in Hampi has succeeded in making a full draft of the agreement to be implemented in the final meeting of the G20 leaders to be held in Delhi on September 9 and 10. “In this meeting, India placed several proposals before the G20-member countries.

These proposals are important in shaping global agendas and finding solutions to current global problems.

The agreement points of the summit in India are more important than the agreements made in the previous G20 Summits and will contribute to the economic transformation of developed and developing countries,” he said.
