Hundreds of golden retrievers assembled at the Scottish Highlands from July 10-14 to celebrate the 155th anniversary of the breed.&nbsp;

The Golden Retriever Club of Scotland organised a four-day anniversary event at the ruins of Guisachan House, the dog breed's place of birth. The event had&nbsp;talks, training workshops, a picnic and a night-time procession, reported BBC News.&nbsp;

Nearly 500 golden retrievers and their owners attended the gathering. The golden retrievers were from 12 countries, including Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, the Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia, Estonia, and Japan. The games and activities included haggis hurling, tug of war, and scurry. As per The Telegraph, the number of golden retrievers in attendance was 466.&nbsp;

The gathering at Guisachan House happens every five years. The first official gathering occurred in 2006, and the second was in 2013.

On Tuesday, the dogs assembled for a mile-long parade from Kennel Field to Guisachan House. The owners and dogs delivered a toast to the breed's founding father, Lord Tweedmouth.

According to the official website of the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, Sir Dudley Marjoribanks (Lord Tweedmouth) first bred the dog at Guisachan, Glen Affric, near Inverness, in 1964. The first litter of golden retrievers, Crocus, Cowslip and Primrose, was born in 1868 to a Tweed water spaniel, now an extinct dog breed, and a yellow wavy-coated retriever.&nbsp;

The Kennel Club, the UK's largest organisation concerned with dog health, welfare and training, recognised the golden retriever as a breed in 1913.&nbsp;

Carol Henry, the secretary of the Golden Retriever Club of Scotland, told the BBC the objective of gathering the dogs was to keep the knowledge of the breed alive. "A lot of golden retriever owners find there’s an emotional attachment to the Guisachan house, and it’s where they want to go and look and experience," said Henry.

The established breeders are mindful of protecting the dogs' qualities and temperament. However, she said irresponsible breeding during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns has put this at risk. She said, "We want to hold on to the confidence, the biddability, the companionship and loyalty, all the things the golden retriever always has."

Golden retrievers are the third-most popular breed in the United States. They often become friendly house pets or service dogs because of their temperament and quick-learning ability.&nbsp;

Amid the Russia-West divide, India's G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant sees New Delhi's role as one of an "honest broker". The remarks come even as the divide that emerged after Russia Ukraine conflict threatens global stability &amp; rise of a new cold war. Speaking to our diplomatic correspondent Sidhant Sibal in Bali, Indonesia Kant said, "our job will be to be an honest broker to everybody, do the balancing act on every single issue, and ensure consensus on all issues."

The 4th and the last Sherpa meet under the Indonesian Presidency of the G20 grouping took place from the 11th to the 13th of November. Sherpa is the chief negotiator of each country and puts forward his country's views and leads the discussions.

The Indian Sherpa also was hopeful that all leaders will visit India next year in September when it holds the annual summit of the grouping. He said, "We are hopeful that every single in the world will participate in our G20. It will be a unique occasion".

India takes over the presidency of the grouping from the first of December. This is the first time India will be the president of the grouping which began its annual summit-level meetings after the 2008 financial crisis. Transcription of the interview done by Shriya Handoo.

Sidhant Sibal: What will be the overarching message from India during this year's G20 summit at Bali? You have been engaged in Sherpa talks

Amitabh Kant: The PM is very clear that there are geopolitical tensions, sustainable development goals falling behind instead of progressing, global supply chains being very disrupted, huge challenges of global debt, issue of climate change, and many crises in the world amidst the chaos. The Prime Minister has announced India’s theme as one earth one family one future and that everyone is a part of one single cosmos. We have to live together and sort out our challenges, there is huge unity in the diversity of man and political thought, geographical existence, and economic models. But we are all one in the end and therefore it’s important that we all work for the common good and for the common citizens of the world. That is the message which India sends from its ancient civilization. The message of Vasudev Kutumbkam is that we are one family.

Sidhant Sibal: How difficult the conversation this time has been given that there is this backdrop of Russia Ukraine conflict and there is a looming sense of a Cold War between the west and the Russians, so do you see that impacting the conversation and will there be a ministerial document of the head of the governments who are meeting here? Are you hopeful that this will come out this time?

Amitabh Kant: The negotiations have been very tough and very intense. The challenge with G20 is that it’s a consensus-making body. The difference between United Nations G7 and G20 is that U.N. is a too larger body, it’s a body of 186 members. You can do voting there. G7 is too rich, for an elite body. G20 comprises both the developed and the developing world. But the important thing is that it works out of consensus and once it decides to work on a consensus then it is able to drive certain actions and it has done this in the past. It has gotten the world out of the financial crisis, it has got the world to manage global debt, created financial stability board, and taken action during covid. This is one body capable of taking action on behalf of the world. And the objective here is to get everyone around to a consensus to drive growth, progress, and financial inclusion.

Sidhant Sibal: &nbsp;This time around the Russian president is not participating and the Russian delegation is represented by FM Lavrov. How do you see this development and the western stance during the conversation at G20?

Amitabh Kant: All sherpas are negotiating for the last 3 days and have had separate discussions in the finance track which then comes into the Sherpa track. The challenge has been to bring cohesiveness, and unity of thought, bringing everyone together. We have been able to manage it so far and we are hopeful that we will be able to do this and we will be able to come out with a good communique which the leaders will then be able to announce and sign and take it forward. That is the objective. We are all working together to make this achievement.

Sidhant Sibal: What are the preparations when it comes to the Indian presidency starting a few weeks from now?

Amitabh Kant: So now we’ll take over the presidency on the first of December. The first meeting will be the sherpa meeting in Udaipur on the 4,5,6. We are doing G20 in over 55 cities and over 200 plus meetings. It is a very large canvas. Every state is a part of it. We are demonstrating that we are a great country with vibrant federalism. PM wants every state, and every union territory to be a key player. &nbsp;Therefore, we are well prepared for whatever we’ve done. Tried to bring a great Indian experience. Well, bring not only the content part of it, the political will part but also, we’ll bring Indian culture and cuisine, heritage all that live with the G20.

Sidhant Sibal: Perhaps some moment for India to project its rise and power. Will India use the G20 as the platform for that?

Amitabh Kant: We’ll push for both hard and soft power because one is India is the fifth largest economy in the world. It will soon go on to become the third-largest economy in the world. More than that it has done truly path-breaking work in digital transformation. It has done phenomenal work in infrastructure creation. Our digital payments are 7 X of EU and US. If there are 3x of what China does, we’ve built over 55,000 km of road in the last 7yrs which is like creating half of Europe. We’ve done close to 30 million houses which is like creating a house for every single Australian. We’ve provided 81 million water connections which is like providing water connections to every Brazilian. We’ve done 2.5 billion vaccination which is 7 times the population of the USA and 5 times the population of Europe. So, we’ve done some remarkable things. This is also an opportunity to push the Indian narrative in terms of many other areas like health, digital transformation, and many of these areas where we can not only talk about the world but also the story of India.

Sidhant Sibal: Will you try to bring the factions which are the west and Russia together? Will India bridge the gap between Western capitals and Moscow?

Amitabh Kant: That’s a must given the fact that G20 works by consensus. Our success and ability lie in bringing everyone together. Our job will be to be an honest broker to everybody, do the balancing act on every single issue, and ensure consensus on all issues. This is a consensus-based organization and therefore bringing everybody together and demonstrating patience and will to work with everyone will be the key task.

 
Sidhant Sibal: And how hopeful you are that President Putin will attend the Indian summit that will happen in the month of September?

Amitabh Kant: We are very hopeful, next year September is quite some distance. We are hopeful that every single in the world will participate in our G20. It will be a unique occasion. We are not tilted towards any side; we believe in keeping equidistant for everyone. We believe it’s in our national interest to work with everyone. We are equally close to everyone, so we will try and bring everyone together as far as India is concerned.

Sidhant Sibal: How has G20 been grouping essentially of today’s world because the UN is seen as very dysfunctional? It is seen as a world of the 1940s and how perhaps G20 is seen replacing United Nations?

Amitabh Kant: UN is a very unwieldy body. G20 it’s important to understand comprises both the developed world and important it comprises of the emerging world whose GDP is growing faster than the developed world. Expansion is taking place through emerging markets, the developed world is stagnant. You can't solve the crisis without emerging markets. So when the Asian crisis came, G7 was expanded to G20, then Mexico's Peso crisis, and the Russian currency crisis all of which made G7 realise that you need emerging markets together. If you want to solve today's vast number of crises, the crisis of SDG, crisis of climate action, crisis of global debt, &nbsp;crisis of ensuring adequate food, fuel, and fertilizer for everyone, no other body other than G20 can solutions, global challenges of the world of today.

Holding talks with Russia seems to have been becoming difficult as there have been several evidences of invading army's actions against civilians in the areas under its occupation, the Ukrainian president added.

"I cannot accept any kind of meeting with anyone coming from the Russian Federation but the president. And only in the case when there is one issue on the (table): stopping the war. There are no other grounds for any other kind of meeting," the Ukrainian leader said. &nbsp;
