Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting and Youth Services and Sports, Anurag Singh Thakur on Saturday said the successful conclusion of the Y20 pre-summit meeting is a befitting reply to those who tried to spread fear and confusion before the event.
Thakur during Y20 Yuwa Samwad in Ladakh said, “Some people must have felt pain when I said Y20 Pre-Summit was successful. Those who tried to spread fear and confusion before Y20 Pre-Summit in Leh & tried to make statements, I would like to say to them that Y20 Pre-Summit was also held in Leh and was a very successful event.” The Y 20 Pre Summit Meeting under G20 hosted by the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs was concluded on April 28.
The three-day event began on April 26 and witnessed more than 100 delegates.
