Polarization
in
the
world
is
also
reflected
among
the
members
of
G20
but
India,
during
its
presidency,
needs
to
ensure
that
they
all
come
together
to
work
on
global
issues
such
as
climate
change,
former
foreign
secretary
Harsh
Vardhan
Shringla
said
on
Saturday.

Shringla,
who
is
the
Chief
Coordinator
for
India’s
G20
Presidency,
was
speaking
at
G20
University
Connect’ at
Symbiosis
International
University
here.
The
theme
or
motto
of
G20
summit
under
India’s
presidency,
Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam’
(one
world,
one
family)
“exemplifies
the
Indian
foreign
policies
outreaching
the
whole
world,”
he
said.
“The
polarisation
that
exists
in
the
world
also
cuts
cross
the
G20
membership,
so
you
have
on
the
one
hand
the
G7,
the
(United
States
of)
America,
Europe,
Japan
and
Australia.

On
the
other
hand
we
have
also
got
Russia
and
China,” the
former
diplomat
said.
“We,
as
part
of
G20
presidency,
need
to
work
to
make
sure
that
Russia
and
China
come
together
with
G7
to
work
for
issues
which
are
important
to
the
world,”
he
added.

India
understands
that
there
are
strong
differences
between
these
countries
but
the
world
needs
solutions
to
problems
related
to
sustainable
development,
global
debt,
climate
change,
and
global
organizations
need
to
be
reformed
for
better
trade
and
smoother
movement
of
goods
and
services,
he
stated.

Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi’s
approach
“to
integrate
the
countries” is
valued
globally,
and
it
has
helped
India
build
a
resilient
economy
during
the
pandemic,
he
said.
Transformation
from
a
bipolar
world
to
a
multi-polar
world
will
help
global
growth
and
uphold
the
ideal
of
Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam,
he
added.

G20
programs
are
not
confined
to
just
New
Delhi
but
are
spread
across
India,
from
Kashmir
to
Kanyakumari
and
the
Rann
of
Kuchh
to
the
valleys
of
Arunachal
Pradesh,
Shringla
said.
