Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Thursday said hosting the G20 Summit in Delhi brought great honour to India and the country's leadership has become stronger.
The Lt Governor was speaking at a programme organised to felicitate New Delhi Municipal Council employees for their role in preparing Delhi for the summit held on Saturday and Sunday.
"I am feeling very proud that I am (standing) among a force that has made the country shine with their work culture and hardwork. I want to thank the prime minister who gave a big opportunity to Delhi to host the biggest meeting of the G20," he said. Hosting the summit in Delhi has brought great honour to India and the country's leadership has become stronger, which cannot be expressed in a few words, Saxena added.
The theme of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakum' was embodied in this G20 Summit, he said. Saxena also applauded the efforts of officers and employees of all ranks in making Delhi neat and clean for the conclave.
"It is a big achievement that we all accomplished together. In a very short period, we succeeded in making our Delhi beautiful," he said.
Saxena said about 6.5 lakh flower pots were used to decorate the streets, venues and other public places for the summit.
