US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday said that Washington appreciates India’s leadership during its G20 Presidency and New Delhi’s demonstrated leadership on debt issues.
Yellen said, as the world is looking forward to the G20 to make progress on key challenges like climate change and pandemics, both countries would take significant, concrete steps forward in meetings ahead. “The United States has appreciated India’s leadership during its G20 presidency, and we will continue our close cooperation. The world is looking to the G20 to make progress on key challenges like climate change and pandemics as part of our work to strengthen the global economy and to support developing countries. I am hopeful we can take significant concrete steps forward in our meetings,” Yellen said while addressing a press conference earlier today in Gandhinagar.
The US Treasury Secretary delivered the remarks after a meeting with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today.
