The G20 started in 1999 as a meeting for finance ministers and central bank governors, but has since expanded into a yearly summit attended by the heads of state and government. Furthermore, Sherpa meetings (charged with carrying out discussions and creating consensus among Leaders), working groups, and special events are held throughout the year.

Every year, the Presidency invites guest countries to participate fully in the G20 exercise. Several international and regional organisations also take part, giving the meeting a more diverse presence. (Image Source: Getty)

The G20 presidency rotates every year among its members, with the country that holds the presidency working with its predecessor and successor, often known as the Troika, to maintain the agenda's continuation. The Troika countries are currently Italy, Indonesia, and India. (Image Source: AFP)
