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 the global issues during his visit.
"During the Bali summit, I will have extensive discussions with other G20 leaders on key issues of global concern, such as reviving global growth, food and energy security, environment, health and digital transformation,” Modi had said ahead of his departure from Delhi.
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.
“At the closing session of the Summit, President Widodo will symbolically hand over the G20 Presidency to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. India will formally assume the G20 Presidency from 1 December 2022,” read the official press release by the Prime Minister’s Office.
