Legal Fraternity honours Sherpa Amitabh Kant for outstanding leadership in G20 success

New Delhi, May 11 , 2024 : G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant has assured the legal fraternity that the role of lawyers will be duly acknowledged during the next G20 conference, and we will make sure that the Legal Fraternity is included.
Amitabh Kant was honoured by the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) in an event held in New Delhi called ‘Celebrating and Calibrating G20: The Sherpa Speaks’. He was presented with the Award for Outstanding Achiever—India 2023. The event was organised to honour the remarkable achievements of the G20 Sherpa, Amitabh
Kant, for his significant contributions in spearheading the success of the G20 in New Delhi last year.
Speaking at the occasion, Attorney General R. Venkataramani said the legal fraternity has a much greater role in shaping society and making India a vibrant economy. Once we havedomestic reforms, it will snowball.
Amitabh Kant said organisations like the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation (WTO), among others, have almost collapsed. Now we are looking towards the G20 (now the G21 after including Africa) to bring about a positive change in the political arena. Dr. Lalit Bhasin, President of SILF, said, “Under the overall leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the Sherpa Amitabh Kant took India’s G20 Presidency to the pinnacle of glory. This was an
amazing exercise spread all over the country. The Heads of State of many countries and official and non-official delegates of many countries fully participated in the discussions and deliberations on diverse but common issues of interest for the welfare and development of the world community.” “Amitabh Kant’s role has been exemplary, as Sherpa and the country as a whole are indebted to him for his significant contribution to making the G20 an astounding success,” Dr. Bhasin said. Lauding the role of the Sherpa who led the Indian G20 team, the Attorney General of India, R Venkataramani, said, Our congratulations extend to leaders like Amitabh Kant for their
contributions. The G20 signifies a departure from the hegemony of Western powers, offering a platform for diverse ideologies and legal fraternities to shape the future. “The legal fraternity must seize the opportunities and contribute to shaping a more equitable global order,” the AG said. India’s role in shaping the global Silk Route is pivotal, marking a significant chapter in history. The G20’s emergence is emblematic of this transformative shift, where India plays a central role, Venkataramni said. “Considering recent global history, the G20 stands as a testament to history-making. Its significance transcends mere meetings of foreign finance ministers; it harkens back to pivotal moments such as the Bretton Woods conference of 1945, which saw the emergence of institutions like the IMF and World Bank. However, these institutions, while operating under the guise of the peaceful United Nations, were still subject to the hegemony of Western powers. In this context, the legal fraternity’s role becomes paramount,” Venkataramni said. Amitabh Kant said, “Under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, India takes the helm of the G20 presidency amid a backdrop of profound geopolitical shifts. The resurgence of great power conflicts, exemplified by the Russia-Ukraine war and escalating tensions in the Middle East, alongside China’s assertive regional policies, poses significant challenges for global stability and economics,” G20 Sherpa said.
