New Delhi [India], November 10 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Bali, Indonesia next week to attend the 17th G20 Summit.
The Prime Minister is undertaking the visit at the invitation of Indonesia President Joko Widodo.

During the Bali Summit, G20 leaders will deliberate extensively upon key issues of global concern under the Summit theme of “Recover Together, Recover Stronger”.
“Three working sessions will be held as part of the G20 Summit Agenda – food and energy security; health; and digital transformation,” the statement added.
At the Summit’s closing session, President Widodo will symbolically hand over the G20 Presidency to Prime Minister Modi. India will formally assume the G20 Presidency from December 1.
