New Delhi: Leaders from around the world have started arriving for the G20 summit chaired by India. About 30 heads of state and government around the world will participate in this summit, which will be held on September 9-10.
In this one year, India has sought to “bridge divides, break barriers and sow seeds of cooperation,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote in an editorial on Thursday, vowing that this weekend’s summit would “reach out to the last mile will reach and will leave no behind.”
The Prime Minister has written in his article that “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – these two words reflect a deep philosophy. This phrase means ‘the world is a family’. It is an all-encompassing strategy that encourages us to evolve as a universal family beyond borders, languages and ideologies. Under India’s G20 chairmanship, this has turned into a call for human-centered progress.

3 p.m.: Amitabh Kant, Sherpa at the G20 summit in India, said: “India felt that we should begin our presidency with the theme ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam’ – the world is one family. Prime Minister Modi said that India’s presidency should be inclusive, decisive and ambitious. “We has lived up to his vision of being inclusive, ambitious and highly decisive during his presidency.”
On key priorities for India’s G20 chairmanship, G20 sherpa Amitabh Kant said, “The second big priority for us was to accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals as only 12 of the 169 SDGs are on track and we are way behind schedule. Way behind. We are in the middle of the 2030 action point. But we are way behind, so accelerating the SDGs, improving learning outcomes, healthy outcomes, nutrition – all these are very important for India to chair.”
