Well done @amitabhk87! Looks lile the IFS lost an ace diplomat when you opted for the IAS! “Negotiated with Russia, China, only last night got final draft,” says India’s G20 Sherpa on ‘Delhi Declaration’ consensus.

India’s sherpa Amitabh Kant told NDTV that nearly 200 hours of “nonstop negotiations” were needed to ensure a joint communique from G20 leaders divided over the bloc’s stance on Russia’s war on Ukraine.
He also said that the declaration was made possible after several round of talks and consensus was reached only late last night.
World leaders and delegates were served an all-vegetarian spread at the G20 dinner hosted by President Droupadi Murmu last evening.
The starters included foxtail millet leaf crisps with a yoghurt sphere and chutney.
Kashmiri kahwa, filter coffee, and Darjeeling tea were served along with paan-flavoured chocolate leaves.
