Mishra also pointed out that the Indian concept of women led development resonated in the document and so did human centric Lifestyles for Sustainable Development (LiFE) approach. He further mentioned how India used its G20 presidency for amplifying the voice and representation of developing countries.

Referring to the unity demonstrated by Global South on the core issues during India’s G20 presidency as unprecedented, Mishra stressed that the G20 grouping has been made more robust, resilient and effective with lasting consensus under India’s G20 presidency.
