'Focus on implementing G20 declaration'

A virtual meeting of G20 heads of state in November will focus on implementing the Delhi declaration and proposals from a three-day meeting of the group's finance ministers and central bank governors this month in Morocco, G20 sherpa Amitabh Kant said in an interview.

There will not be another leaders' declaration at the November summit, but the group will issue a press release, Kant said. To give momentum to the extensive Delhi declaration and to ensure that the agenda is carried forward, Indian officials have already held discussions with officials from Brazil, which takes over the G20 presidency from India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already given directions to implement the G20 agenda in India's programmes and policies.
