These would reflect India’s message and overarching priorities to the world

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil the logo, theme and website of India’s G20 Presidency on Tuesday (November 8) via video conferencing, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Monday.

India will assume the G20 Presidency for one year from December 1, 2022.

The G20 Presidency offers a unique opportunity to India to contribute to the global agenda on pressing issues of international importance. The logo, theme and website of our G20 Presidency would reflect India’s message and overarching priorities to the world, the MEA pointed out.

According to the MEA, guided by the vision of the Prime Minister, the foreign policy of India has been evolving to undertake leadership roles on the global stage.

G20 is the premier forum for international economic cooperation representing around 85% of the global GDP, over 75% of the global trade, and about two-thirds of the world population. During the course of its G20 Presidency, India will be holding about 200 meetings in 32 different sectors in multiple locations across India.

The G20 Summit scheduled to be held in New Delhi in September 2023 would be one of the highest profile international gatherings to be hosted by India.

India is currently part of the G20 Troika (current, previous and incoming G20 Presidencies) comprising Indonesia, Italy and India.

During its Presidency, India, Indonesia and Brazil would form the troika. This would be the first time when the troika would consist of three developing countries and emerging economies, providing them a greater voice, the MEA had earlier pointed out.
