New Delhi | “Bharat Mandapam” is now completely ready to host two-day G20 Summit starting Saturday, September 9. The G20 Summit 2023—the first time Bharat is hosting such a powerful group of world leaders—will have a long list of leaders, including US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and France President Emmanuel Macron, in attendance, wherein they will hold talks to find solutions to some of the world’s pressing problems.
In addition to the G20 discussions, PM Modi will also be holding bilateral meetings with several leaders to further deepen the bonds of friendship and cooperation. The theme of the 2023 G20 summit is derived from the Sanskrit phrase “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, meaning “the world is one family”.
