Prime Minister Modi urged the people of Delhi to help make the upcoming G20 Summit a success despite the inconvenience they might have to face due to the presence of several world leaders here next month. The summit will be held in the national capital from September 9 to 10.
Congress leader Pawan Khera on Sunday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ongoing G20 summit under India’s presidency.
“PM Modi forgets that G20 is a rotational presidency. It’s not because he’s the Prime Minister. Anyone would have been the PM and India would still have been the president of G20. If he thinks that the people of India are fools, then he’s sadly mistaken.”
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India’s presidency has been a “people’s presidency” and it has made the grouping a more inclusive forum. In his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast, Modi also said that India is fully prepared for the G20 leaders’ summit, and heads of 40 countries and many global organizations are coming to Delhi to participate in the event.
This will be the biggest participation ever in the history of the G20 Summit, he said. Referring to the people of the country as his family members, Modi said the month of September is going to be witness to the potential of India.
“Moving away from the tradition of holding big events in Delhi, we took them to different cities of the country. About 200 meetings related to this were organized in 60 cities across the country. Wherever G20 delegates went, people warmly welcomed them. These delegates were very impressed, seeing the diversity of our country and our vibrant democracy,” PM Modi said. They also realized that there are so many possibilities in India, he added.
Meanwhile, the G20 summit is scheduled to take place at ‘Bharat Mandapam’ at the ITPO Convention Centre, Pragati Maidan on September 9 and 10. It will be the first-ever G20 summit to be held in India as well as in South Asia. The G20 New Delhi Summit will be chaired by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. India’s presidency began on 1 December 2022, leading up to the summit in the third quarter of 2023. The presidency handover ceremony was held at the close of the Bali Summit 2022, in which the G20 Presidency gavel was transferred from Indonesian President Joko Widodo to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
