G20 summit: Indian street food, millets on world leaders’ platter
As part of attempts to construct a G20 Garden in the Bharat Mandapam complex, the world leaders will also plant seedlings of national plants or plant species belonging to their respective nations during the summit conference. In an interview with PTI, G20 india Special Secretary Muktesh Pardeshi stated that plans are also being made to make the wives of world leaders' trips to india memorable through live demonstrations of the rich tradition of handicrafts in the nation and a shopping excursion to the National Gallery of Modern Art.
Yes, there will be an introduction to indian street food as well as local and regional cuisines in a creative way. The cooks are putting in extra effort to complete the cuisine while taking everything into consideration. But there will undoubtedly be some exposure," Pardeshi said to a query. The chandni Chowk neighbourhood in delhi is particularly well-known for its street cuisine. As a result, I am confident that you will experience indian street cuisine when you stop by our international media centre.
According to him, every hotel where global leaders and delegations will be staying is vying with one another to create the most creative millet dishes. According to Pardeshi, special consideration is being given to the presents for the visiting leaders and delegations, with a preference for items made according to national handicraft, textile, and painting traditions. "The prime minister is aware that gifts for foreign leaders should resonate with them and exude affection. We have provided a list of objects, and they will be picked with care and respect for the visiting dignitary, whether they are paintings, handicrafts, or carpets, he added.
"Our philosophy is that the presents should provide a message about our culture and traditions of handcraft. The memory of india should be carried by leaders whenever they carry something, he continued. Regarding the summit's security plans, Pardeshi stated that the delhi Police has been working with the advance teams of various nations and has taken their security requirements and concerns into consideration.
We collaborate with delegations, the delhi Police, and other organisations to exchange ideas and develop sufficient security plans for each and every group. Therefore, they are all custom-made based on how the world's leaders see threats and what they want from us, according to the special secretary. More than 10,000 participants are anticipated to attend the summit in delhi, according to Pardeshi.
