INDIA’S G20 PRESIDENCY
India holds the Presidency of the G20 from 1 December 2022 to 30 November
2023. The theme for India’s Presidency “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth
One Family One Future” is uniquely Indian and has been widely appreciated.

India’s G20 Presidency will see deliberations and outcomes in-

Union Territories. Meetings are being organized across the length and breadth
of India with the full support and participation of State Governments and Union
Territories.

In-person participation during India’s G20 Presidency is among the largest

ever. Over 12,300 delegates, from over 110 nationalities have attended G20-
related meetings so far. This includes participation from G20 members, 9 invitee
countries and 14 international organizations.

During our Presidency, India will be hosting foreign delegates for over 200
G20-related meetings in around 60 cities across India, the widest geographical
spread in any G20 Presidency.

Over 150 cultural events, with the participation of over 7,000 artists,
showcasing local and national art forms, have been held. Many Jan Bhagidari
activities are also being simultaneously held with active public participation in a
whole-of-nation and whole-of-society* approach, making India’s G20 Presidency
a “People’s G20”.

Substantive deliberations during India’s ongoing G20 Presidency comprise

broad priority areas such as inclusive and resilient growth; progress on SDGs,
green development and Lifestyle for Environment (LIFE); technological
transformation and public digital infrastructure; reforming multilateral
institutions; women led development; and international peace and harmony.

The Presidency will culminate with the G20 New Delhi Leaders’ Summit in
September 2023.
