New Delhi [India], November 15 : India will hold the second Voice of the Global South Summit on Friday in a virtual format, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Throughout its G20 Presidency, India has made an effort to guarantee that the issues facing the Global South are given the attention they deserve and that their objectives are taken into account when developing answers to the world's most urgent problems, according to MEA release.
The 2nd VOGSS would focus on sharing with countries of the Global South the key outcomes achieved in various G20 meetings over the course of India's Presidency.
