She noted that "India's efforts will be to encourage conversations that recognise our inter-dependencies, our shared wisdom and our collective aspiration for a safe, peaceful and prosperous world".
The Union Minister said that "G20 Finance Ministers have always come together in the harshest global situations, set aside their differences and worked towards a common goal of prosperity for our people".
She urged the FMCBGs to continue working together with this sense of solidarity.
