New Delhi: As India took over the presidency of G20, French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday (December 4, 2022) said that he is trusting his "friend" Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring us together. 

"One Earth. One Family. One Future. India has taken over the presidency of #G20India! I trust my friend Narendra Modi to bring us together in order to build peace and a more sustainable world," Macron said in a tweet.

India's G20 priorities will be shaped in consultation with not just our G20 partners, but also our fellow travellers in the global South, whose voice often goes unheard, he said in an article that appeared in several newspapers and was posted on his website as well.

India's G20 agenda will be inclusive, ambitious, action-oriented, and decisive, he added.

The country looks forward to working on encouraging sustainable lifestyles, depoliticising the global supply of food, fertilisers and medical products among other subjects, the Prime Minister said.
