India will formally take over the presidency of the G-20, a group of the world's most economically prosperous countries, for one year from Thursday. During this time India will have a unique opportunity to contribute to the global agenda on issues of international importance. The G-20 is a major forum for international economic cooperation, representing 85 percent of global GDP, more than 75 percent of world trade, and two-thirds of the world's population.

 

G-20 meeting will be held next year

During the presidency of G-20, India will organize about 200 meetings at 55 places in the country. The G-20 summit to be held next year will be one of the highest-level meetings hosted by India. It may be known that the first meeting of the G-20 will be held in Udaipur in the first week of December. Before this, PM Modi had launched the logo, theme, and website of the G-20 under the chairmanship of India at the beginning of November. The lotus flower in its logo is a symbol of India's ancient heritage, faith, and ideology.
