“As far as I could discuss some related matters with the Government of India and as far as I could read some of the plans the Government of India is pursuing for this year, it’s very promising for the world, for the global south, and for this country as well,” he said in an exclusive interview with ANI when being asked about how India can play a crucial role at a time when the world is going through a global turmoil.
“I wish all the best to the Government of India to run a successful presidency in the G20,” he added.
Stressing the point that the Russia-Ukraine conflict hasn’t seen its end yet, the UNGA President told ANI that countries including India aren’t aware of any concrete negotiations.

“It’s up to the Indian government to tell what role it can play or will play. I cannot decide on behalf of India. Unfortunately, this conflict is still not at the end, unfortunately, this war is still going on and unfortunately, the killing in Eastern Ukraine is demanding heavy casualties every day. I am sure that many countries may be India included, offering good services but are not aware of any concrete negotiations where peace negotiations would be now on the table” he said.
