India will head the annual rotating presidency of G-20 next year.

“Rebuilding trust in multilateralism is at the core of India's thinking,” she told her G-20 colleagues.

As such, she urged the finance ministers and central bank governors to continue working together with this sense of solidarity. PTI LKJ PY PY PY
