“Whatever time I could avail while my this 3-day travel, I utilised it in the best possible way for the good of the nation, for taking the best possible decisions for the nation. All the leaders I met..all the personalities I talked to have been so mesmerised and appreciative of India’s holding the G20 Presidency this much excellently. This is a matter of great pride for all Indians,” he said.
