On December 1, India formally took over as G20 President.
Terrorism, climate change, and pandemic were identified by Prime Minister Modi as the three largest issues that may be overcome by working together. He said India will seek to further promote oneness, motivated by the concept of “One Earth, One Family, One Future.”
Modi stated in an article that was published in numerous publications and was also uploaded on his website that India’s G20 priorities would be developed in conjunction with both our G20 partners and our fellow travellers in the global South, whose voices are frequently ignored.
According to him, India’s G20 agenda will be inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action oriented.
On September 9 and 10, the next G20 Leaders’ Summit at the level of Heads of State/Government will take place in New Delhi.

We will help Ukraine in meeting its winter preparedness needs, will continue to support Ukraine’s civilian resilience, and will further enhance our efforts on this during the international conference to be held in Paris on December 13.”
“Russia’s war of aggression must end. To date, we have not seen evidence that Russia is committed to sustainable peace efforts. Russia can end this war immediately by ceasing its attacks against Ukraine and completely and unconditionally withdrawing its forces from the territory of Ukraine. We welcome and support President Zelenskyy’s initiative for a just peace,” the G-7 leaders praised.
