Earlier on Monday, PM Modi, who is in Bali to take part in the G20 summit, was greeted by a swarm of Indians when he landed for the G20 meetings. Modi had received a traditional and colourful welcome upon his arrival at the airport. Later, he said that he looks forward to having discussions with world leaders on global issues during his visit.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will hold bilateral talks with the world leaders and brief them on India’s evolving G20 priorities. This G20 summit is also important because India is slated to hold the presidency from December 1, 2022 for a one-year period, and the presidency handover will take place during this Bali summit.
