00:58country.
00:59So, we have made 16 drafts and all of them have failed.
01:05In the end, when the 17th draft was successful, there were many challenges in that as well.
01:14By the time we put up the 17th draft, we already knew the red lines of everyone.
01:19So, when we put up the draft, immediately after that Russia started saying that you
01:23should put the word sanction so that the sanction can be removed.
01:26So, we said that no one will agree to the sanction and G7 does not agree.
01:33So, we said that this is not possible and this cannot happen.
01:37But they were insisting.
01:39So, I spoke to Jaishankar and he said that if they do not agree, then we will tell Zelensky
01:46the next day, that after our Prime Minister, tell Zelensky.
01:49Russia did not want that at any cost.
01:52But G7 wanted Zelensky to come.
01:54He spoke in Indonesia and he spoke for 30 minutes.
01:57But the Prime Minister said that this is a G20 meeting and G20 leaders should speak.
02:04But we had to tell Russia this.
02:07And then Russia backed out of that sanction word.
02:10Then the next day, when everyone agreed and all the drafts of G7 were accepted, when we
02:18spoke to America, they said that first Russia and China should agree.
02:22And they said something to change the word.
02:25And when Russia said China, then Russia agreed.
02:28Then when we spoke to China, China said that this is a line that the G20 of 2026 is in
02:34the United States of America.
02:36Remove it.
02:37We do not want the US to do it.
02:39We asked why?
02:40They said that they do not give us visas.
02:44Our Hong Kong people do not give visas to our governors.
02:47So when they do not give us visas, what will we do?
02:49So we will not let it happen.
02:51Okay, first they agreed, now they were withdrawing.
02:54So we then spoke to the United States.
02:57So I got stuck on that.
02:59The whole agreement of multilateralism on a bilateral issue, which I worked on all year,
03:03I got stuck on that.
03:04Think.
03:05Then when the meeting of leaders started, then I sat with Chinese Sharpa and American
03:10Sharpa.
03:12Negotiated for three and a half hours.
03:14They wanted a written legal guarantee.
03:17That whatever we give a list, a visa issue will be on it.
03:20Then we told them in English that we also speak English and are native speakers of English.
03:26So take a letter in which it is said that the word ensure, the US will ensure that visas
03:32will be issued.
03:33We will find a place.
03:35So that letter was given.
03:36When the letter was given, they agreed.
03:38And then after that, this agreement took place till 12.30, 1 o'clock.
03:42And on the same day, we told Prime Minister Mania that now everything has been agreed.
03:47Announce it today and approve it.
03:49And then around 1.30 PM, Prime Minister Mania announced it, which all the leaders
03:55applauded and appreciated it.
03:58The way G20 has been organized in different states throughout the country,
04:04how big a challenge was it to use all the resources?
04:08How did you do it?
04:09Look, it was the Prime Minister's order and the Prime Minister's thinking that G20 should
04:16not be held in one or two places like an elite body, which happens everywhere.
04:23But in all states and all union territories and convert it into a people's movement.
04:30Do it like a people's movement.
04:33And in my opinion, this is the biggest example of cooperative federalism.
04:38Because it happened in every state, every union territory, they did their cultural programs.
04:43They got an opportunity to show their soft power.
04:47Not only cultural programs, art and culture, but their cuisine was promoted.
04:53And one district, one product, whatever gift was given, it was one district, one product.
