At India Today Conclave Mumbai 2023, Amitabh Kant recalled how the final round of negotiations took place on September 8, a day before the two-day G20 Summit. “On September 8, we had the final round of meetings and we said 'This is the final draft, take it or leave it'. And we felt it covered everybody's red lines. We said no more discussion at sherpa level. If any leader has a challenge, they can talk to my leader. By 3:30 in the morning, we already had emerging markets with us,” Amitabh Kant said.He added, “By morning, we had the consent of the majority of G7 nations, but Russia was still a challenge.
