External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that the main concern of the G-20 would be to find ways to protect the global economy from risks. Jaishankar addressed a program organized here on Sunday on India's one-year G-20 presidency.

 

Jaishankar said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the central government has made every effort to provide relief to the consumers from the hike in petrol prices. Steps have been taken to reduce inflation.

 

He said that today the world has come to know very well that security no longer means only physical or economic security, but health security and food security are equally important. That's why we have to find ways to protect the global economy from risk today.

 

Corona had a psychological effect on the whole world

Jaishankar said that apart from the President and Prime Minister level conferences of G-20 countries, there will also be 15 ministerial-level meetings. The External Affairs Minister said that the Corona pandemic has made a deep psychological impact on the whole world.

 

At the time of Corona, developed countries only worried about themselves.

He said that such resentment was seen among people all over the world that developed countries only thought of themselves during Kovid-19. Jaishankar said that only a few countries, including India, remained concerned about the whole world.
