G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting Presidency Media Briefing by External Affairs Minister of India

India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar chaired the G20 Foreign Ministers' meeting in New Delhi under its presidency, marking the largest such gathering with representatives from all G20 nations, nine guests, and 13 international organizations. Sessions addressed strengthening multilateralism, food and energy security, counter-terrorism, global skills mapping, humanitarian aid, women-led development, and climate action, guided by Prime Minister Modi's emphasis on the Global South's voice amid geopolitical tensions. While divergences over the Ukraine conflict prevented a joint communique, a chair's summary document captured broad consensus on these priorities. This first-ever G20 foreign ministers' outcome advances collective action toward the September summit.
