ABOUT THE SEMINAR

India took a year-long presidency of G20 on 1 Dec 2022. In Bali, PM Sh.
Narendra Modi assured the world leaders that during the G20 presidency, India
would work toward inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented policies.
Delineating significant themes and priorities, PM Modi stated that the G20 has to
send a strong message of ‘peace and harmony’, without which generations next
will not be able to take benefit of economic growth or technological innovation.
Hope, harmony, peace and stability are significant ideas that will outline India’s
presidency of the G20 grouping of the world’s most advanced and emerging
economies. G20 affords India, the world’s fifth largest economy, an excellent
opportunity to form world opinion when there is widespread polarisation and
escalation of geopolitical rigidities. India will work tirelessly to advance peace,
stability and shared prosperity in a fragmented world.

The Group of Twenty (G20) was formed in 1999 and was initially a
meeting of the minister of finance and the governor of the central bank to expand
the discussion of policies that are beneficial for resolving the global economic
and financial crisis. As an economic congregation, the G20 is a membership of
19 countries, i.e. US, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Turkey,
Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, China, Germany, Britain, India, Saudi

Arabia, South Africa, Italy, France, Russia. In addition, the European

Union(EU), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the
International Monetary and Financial Committee the Development Committee,
the ministers of finance and the governor of the central bank would also form part
of G20.

India considers its G20 presidency a medium of change and world transformation
in this era of multi-dimensional crises like food and energy security. With the
world caught up in conflicts, jeopardising the lives of ordinary people, India will
harness its G20 presidency to reach constructive solutions to various challenges,
like reviving global growth, more decisive climate actions and robust global
health architecture. Endorsing food and nutrition security will be essential as the
pandemic has strapped millions of people into poverty. Accelerating Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and leading the world to adopt an eco-friendly
sustainable lifestyle through Life (Life for Environment) will be other significant
priorities in the next few months.
As we move forward, the G20 will also be a chance to showcase India, the largest
Democracy in the world, its glory and diversity. It will also have an opportunity
to show the member nations its new heights of excellence in areas ranging from
economic progress to science and technology, space, innovation and start-ups.
India will host 200-plus G20-related meetings in 56 different places in India,
bringing delegates from different countries to visit this vibrant and diverse
country. For many visitors, a G20 event will be their first taste and experience of
India; hence, all Indians need to put their best foot forward to welcome the world
and treat them as part of one family. G20 is crucial for India for the reason that
this international forum brings under its umbrella all the five permanent members
of the UNSC, all G7 members and all BRICS countries. This platform would help
India to showcase its development and propose its models to the world as
potential solutions. With sound macroeconomic fundamentals. With robust
public finances, soaring marketing and export trajectories, resolute climate
leadership, etc, India is a bright spot shining on the Global horizon.
