Former NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant was on Thursday named India’s Sherpa for the G-20, the grouping of the world’s largest economies.

He will replace Union Minister Piyush Goyal.

The retired Kerala cadre bureaucrat, who resigned as NITI Aayog CEO recently, has been appointed days ahead of a meeting in Indonesia to prepare groundwork for the G-20 meeting later in the year.

India will assume the G-20 presidency next year.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
