2nd G20 Sherpa meeting under India’s G20 Presidency begins at Kumarakom village, Kottayam
The second G20 Sherpa meeting under India’s G20 Presidency will begin today at the picturesque Kumarakom village in Kerala’s Kottayam district. Over 120 delegates, drawn from G20 member nations, representatives of nine invitee countries and various international and regional organizations will attend the four-day event, chaired by India’s G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant.
The multilateral discussions at the meeting will focus on G20’s economic and developmental priorities as well as contemporary global challenges. A range of cross-cutting issues of global concern, and the work being done under the 13 working groups under the Sherpa track will form part of the deliberations during the meet.
Two high-level side events on Digital Public Infrastructure and Green Development will also be held today. The Kumarakom meet will take forward the outcomes of various Sherpa Track and Finance Track meetings and form the basis of the Leader’s Declaration, slated to be adopted at the New Delhi Summit in September later this year.
