The G20 Leaders' Summit has been scheduled for 9-10 September 2023 in New Delhi.

The Government believes that the G20 Presidency is a unique occasion to demonstrate India's achievements, capabilities and diversity. Therefore, it was felt that the programmes must be approached in a 'whole of India' manner and events   are   scheduled   accordingly.   These   naturally   are   being   organized   in consultation with various state governments. Since this prestigious occasion is regarded as a national opportunity, various political parties were also engaged in the process of preparation. This overall endeavour reflects the Government's commitment to cooperative federalism.

The substantive deliberations in broad priority areas during our G20 Presidency include, inter-alia, matters relating to inclusive and resilient growth; progress on SDGs, green  development   and   Lifestyle   for   Environment   (Mission   LiFE); technological   transformation   and   public   digital   infrastructure;   reforming multilateral institutions; women led development; and international peace and harmony.   Outcomes in these areas would emerge out of the deliberations during the course of our G20 Presidency.

It is also expected that India would articulate the concerns of the Global South and help build consensus on polarizing issues in contemporary international politics.
