On December 1, 2022, India assumed leadership of the G-20 for the summit that will be held in New Delhi the following year. A variety of public statements and events, such as the lighting of 100 monuments and landmarks across the nation, were held to commemorate this occasion.
The External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, noted the occasion and said it will be done differently. Stating India’s assumption of G-20 Presidency as an “unparalleled” event he said that India has taken up this crucial responsibility at a very challenging time in world politics and an inflection point in India’s history.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi pronounced India’s agenda at the G-20 as “inclusive, ambitious, action-oriented.” He added that India’s learnings and models will act as templates for others, particularly developing countries. He added that the principle of "Data for development" will be an integral part of the overall theme.
Modi said that the most amazing development in our day is the digital transition. In the decades-long battle against poverty around the world, effective use of digital technologies can become a force multiplier.
According to Mr. Jaishankar, the G20 brings together the top economies and includes two-thirds of the world's population. Given its importance, Mr. Jaishankar said that G 20 would be an event that would be celebrated across the nation and not just in Delhi. “The G-20 will make India "more world-ready" and the world "more India-ready," he added.
