.@IndBagchi: This is the only table where the 20 most consequential countries of the world have gathered. It is becoming more consequential as traditional #multilateral systems find themselves in a bind.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@JosepBorrellF: The #G20 has a special responsibility with respect to the international community as it includes 70 percent of the world population and 85 percent of the world’s GNP.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@JosepBorrellF: When there is no consensus, it is difficult to find solutions. Nevertheless, we need to look for them and the #G20 is one of the few platforms where everyone can present their proposals.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@m_ebrard: The current system can be described as a paralysis in expansion of the #multilateral system with several risks. The #G20 has a high level of value because it is the only space where you have 20 leaders that meet once per year.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@m_ebrard: We are going to face high tensions in the coming months, however we need to make a persistent effort to at least maintain #communication between the leaders.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@melaniejoly: The #G20 was formed to create economic opportunities. However, it is very difficult to build them when there is a #security risk.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@melaniejoly: We know that the #GlobalSouth is frustrated that this insecurity has created effects across the board because there were already crises beforehand.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023 #G20India

.@melaniejoly: We need to become a more reliable partner as we are a nation of the Pacific as well. The strategy that we brought was what we heard were the needs in #IndoPacific—infrastructure, #climate change, free trade–-these are all things linked to the #G20.

#Raisina2023

.@MdShahriarAlam: It is the European Union that led the initiative of loss and damage–and it is something that we are desperate for.

#Raisina2023 #G20India #G20

.@MdShahriarAlam: The #G20 presidency is going to remain in the Global South for the next three years—there is no better opportunity to bridge the gap between the Global North and South.
