Jaishankar cited the COVID response and focus on Ukraine as sidelining issues like debt, climate action, digital access.
He said India's hosting the Voice of the Global South Summit gave it credibility to focus G20 on issues troubling 125 countries.
Jaishankar said he does not think he is too tough on Europe, but their problems should not eclipse world problems.
