He said, “This Summit has been a milestone from the point of view of giving a clear guiding star for us to follow. Another thing that I would like to mention is the active role of the Indian presidency that has genuinely consolidated the G20 Members probably for the first time in its history. I mean the G20 countries from the Global South, our BRICS partners - Brazil, India, China, South Africa have been particularly active. Thanks to these consolidated positions taken by the global south countries to uphold and protect their legitimate interests have caused the West to be unable to Ukrainise the agenda to the detriment of the discussion of the tasks facing developing countries.”
