Taking to Twitter, the G20 Sherpa wrote, “Started off my bilateral interactions in Udaipur with a productive exchange of views with UN Sherpa and Under-Secretary-General, Mr Li Junhua.

“Held discussions with Andreas Schaal, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Sherpa in Udaipur. Emphasised the need to prioritize inclusive and resilient growth and tangible G20 initiatives,” Kant tweeted.

Moreover, the G20 Sherpas who are in Udaipur for the meeting, were given a G20 millet box and kit bag with Rajasthan bandhni design alongside an idol of Lord Ganesha as a token of good luck.

“For the #G20 Sherpas: Lord Ganesha to bring them good luck and remove all obstacles. Lord Ganesha is invoked at the beginning of every enterprise.
