G20 leaders discussed open markets, focus on reciprocity and non-discrimination, fight protectionism, unfair trade practices during the two-day summit.

"Goodbye Hamburg! PM emplanes for Delhi after a successful visit to Israel and G20 Summit," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay tweeted.
