Navdeep Singh Suri said that  human intelligence is dominated by AI knowledge which is a matter of great concern which needs to be instrospect with the experts from all over. Giving an example of relation of India with Arabic countries, he said that economical and political growth of any country depends upon its relations with other countries. He said that the migrants of any country also affects the relationship with native country. Be conscious, he said,  we all should be aware of what is happening in the world around us.

He said that we know that a large part of the agenda is always inherited but there is always a possibility to expand or diversify the agenda by the host country. At various places, Indian policy makers have been saying that during its presidency India must become the voice of the Global South. They assert that India’s G20 priorities will be shaped not just with consultations with G20 partners but also with the members of the Global South.
