The G-20 Leaders' Summit, hosted by India, has begun in Delhi. Leaders of 20 member countries, eight invited countries and 14 world organizations are participating in the summit. US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi met ahead of the two-day diplomatic gathering. The two-day summit will be held at the Bharat Mandapam at Pragati Maidan in the heart of Delhi. The summit has become a showcase for the host country India's history, democratic tradition and organizational excellence.

The summit is moving forward, dashing the thoughts that Chinese President Xi Jinping's absence will dampen the mood. This opportunity also made the countries of the world aware of China's hostile approach towards India. There were other reasons why Russian President Putin could not attend. No one doubts about India and Russia's ties remaining strong whether or not Putin attends. India's vision has always been to see the world as one family. This will be transformed into a call for humanitarian decentralized progress during India's presidency of the G-20, said Prime Minister Modi in an essay in India's media preface to the G-20 summit. Through the G-20 summit, India is conveying to the world the message that we are moving together towards a single future, which is an undeniable fact of our interconnectedness. After the COVID pandemic, the world order has changed drastically. It is reasonable to expect that the G-20 summit under the presidency of India will play a major role in mainstreaming the marginalized development dreams of the Global South and Africa, comprising developing countries. This summit may also become a global economic forum.

President Draupadi Murmu is hosting a dinner for special guests today. The global economic situation, climate change, COVID impact, food supply chain etc. will be discussed at the summit. The summit will also issue a joint statement on these matters. Prime Minister Modi says that India's G-20 presidency is trying to forget differences, remove barriers and sow seeds of co-existence. So it is hoped that this summit will help to maintain unity over differences. If the summit succeeds in paving the way for an end to the war in Ukraine, it will be the biggest contribution this alliance can make to the world.
