The government has scheduled a meeting of the leaders of all political parties on December 5 at Rashtrapati Bhavan, as India takes over the G20 chairmanship in a month.

According to sources, this meeting will take place on December 5 at 5 p.m., during which the government will inform the political parties about India assuming the G20 presidency. The leaders of all political parties have received letters inviting them to this particular gathering.

According to additional sources, the government’s representatives at this meeting would include Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar, Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal, and Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi.

Amitabh Kant, a G20 sherpa, is also anticipated to attend the conference.

The sources revealed that a thorough presentation will be given to the political parties regarding the lead-up to India’s G20 leadership and what it implies for the upcoming year.

Beginning on December 1, India will hold the G20 presidency for a full year. The nation will preside over more than 200 meetings with the aim of ensuring global economic growth and prosperity.

With two-thirds of the world’s population and 85% of its GDP, the G20 is one of the largest multilateral organisations and has a significant impact, particularly on the developed nations of North America and Europe.

The developing and underdeveloped nations in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania are referred to as the “Global South.”

All eyes are on India as it assumes the G20 presidency from Indonesia for the year 2023. New Delhi will set the agenda to foster improved cooperation between the developing world and advanced nations, as it stands impartial and enjoys the respect of both.

Cooperation for equitable and sustainable development for shared global peace and prosperity and capacity building to address new global challenges are likely to be on the agenda.
