UN lauds India’s G20 presidency for emphasising sustainable development goals

Shombi Sharp, the resident coordinator for the United Nations (UN) has praised India’s G-20 presidency for emphasising several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as no poverty, zero hunger, good health and wellbeing, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation.

He also stated that India’s G-20 Presidency has become SDG-20 Presidency as it is raising a strong voice to close financial gaps. He noted that four rising economies Indonesia, India, Brazil, and South Africa will be holding the G-20 Presidency in the coming year, as a result, raising concerns that pertain to developing nations and serving as the Voice of the Global South.
