This is the history
India was originally scheduled to host the G20 summit in 2021, followed by Italy in 2022. Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated at the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit that he had requested Italy to host the summit in 2021 and allowed India to host it in 2022, the 75th anniversary of India’s independence. Italy consented to allow India to host the 2022 G20 summit in its place due to the growth of bilateral ties.
In response to a request from Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, India exchanged its G-20 presidency with Indonesia in 2023, when Indonesia will also preside over the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Presidency
The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi , will be in charge of the G20 meeting in New Delhi. India took over as president on December 1, 2022, and the meeting will take place in the third quarter of 2023. At the end of the Bali meeting, there was a ceremony where the G20 Presidency gavel was passed from Indonesian President Joko Widodo to Indian Prime Minister Modi. In 2022, Indonesia was in charge.
Topics to be covered
For the 2023 G20 meeting, India has proposed six points for discussion.
- Green Growth, Climate Change Funding, and Everyday Life
- Rapid, inclusive, and sustainable development
- Quickening the pace of SDG achievement
- Changes in Technology and the Digitalization of Government Services
- 21st Century Multilateral Institutions
- Development driven by women
- The African Union may soon have voting rights at the G20, according to officials. This plan has the backing of the G20 nations. Currently debating. This is a major topic to be discussed during the G2. summit in Delhi.
In an interview on August 26, 2023, Prime Minister Modi said he was optimistic about how the G20 countries’ agenda would change under India’s presidency. He said that the agenda would move toward a human-centered development approach that aligns with the concerns of the Global South. This would include addressing climate change, restructuring debt through the G20’s Common Framework for Debt, and coming up with a plan for regulating global cryptocurrencies.
Preparations
For the G20 events, the Indian government allocated Rs. 990 crore (USD 120 million). The government has sent out 130,000 security professionals, including 80,000 police officers from the Delhi Police, to ensure the event’s safety.
news resources According to reports from CNN, Reuters, and the Washington Post, the Indian government, including the Archaeological Survey of India, began a widespread demolition campaign against slum neighborhoods and homeless shelters throughout New Delhi in the months before the G20 summit, forcing its marginalized residents to leave. The assertions were denied by the Press Information Bureau of the Indian government, which added that the actions were taken in accordance with rulings from the Supreme Court of India and were unrelated to the 2023 G20 meeting in New Delhi.
Restrictions in Delhi
All Delhi-based schools, workplaces, marketplaces, eateries, and non-food enterprises were required to close for three days as a result of the restrictions.
