PANAJI
An elaborate display of India’s diverse culture and heritage by the Goa government during the ongoing G20 Summit has impressed Amitabh Kant, the Indian G20 Sherpa, who is currently in Goa for the SAI20 summit.

Kant said that India has been steering the agenda for G20 and has been successful in holding the meetings in Goa while also stating that the venue displaying the character of the traditional artisans from all over India has given unique flavour of not Goa alone but of the entire country.

“Goa is not only a spectacular destination for hospitality, but also a master of curation. The gift they have prepared for the G20 visitors is truly outstanding. It captures the great flavour and all the unique products of Goa, from the artwork of the great artist Mario Miranda to the small little things that make Goa special,” he said.

Claiming these gifts would leave a lasting memory on the minds of all the G20 visitors to Goa, he also pointed out that Goa’s natural beauty, its colours, flavours, cuisine and its handloom and handicrafts would make it a world-class destination for tourism.

“I am looking forward to more meetings in Goa, which will be a unique opportunity for Goa to promote and market itself to the world,” Kant mentioned.

The SAI20 Summit is a meeting of the Supreme Audit Institutions-20 (SAI20) Engagement Group, which is one of the official engagement groups of the G20.
