Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla participated in the concluding session of P20 and stressed dialogue and diplomacy are the only ways to resolve global issues for world peace and prosperity.
Taking to Twitter, Om Birla said that he invited the delegates to the next P20 Summit which will be hosted by India as New Delhi will be hosting the G-20 (Group of 20) leaders' summit in New Delhi next year in 2023.
"Participating in Concluding Session of #P20, thanked Parliament of Indonesia for successfully organising the Summit. Invited the Delegates to the next #P20 Summit which will be hosted by India," he said in a tweet.
"Mentioning that mutual cooperation is the foundation of success for G-20, stressed on dialogue and diplomacy to resolve global issues for world peace & prosperity," Lok Sabha Speaker added.
In the session, he outlined India's journey of democracy in the last 75 years and mentioned that the smooth transfer of power after every election has been the speciality of democracy. India's Parliament protects the interests of citizens and legislates purposively to fulfil their hopes and aspirations, Birla added.
He also said that the shared efforts should guide the parliaments to innovate and to identify and resolve these challenges.
Birla, who is in Jakarta to attend the 8th G20 Parliamentary Speakers' Summit in Jakarta, also met the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Thailand, Chuan Leekpai and expressed condolences on the killings of children in the incident of firing in Bangkok.
