For the first time, India is hosting the G20 summit after assuming the presidency from Indonesia on December 1, 2022, with the theme of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ or ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’.

India holds the presidency of the G20 from December 1 of 2022 to November 30 of 2023.

The G20 or Group of 20 is the one of world’s leading platforms for international economic cooperation. The G20 was founded in 1999 after the Asian financial crisis as a forum for finance ministers and central bank governors to discuss global economic and financial issues.

The 19 countries are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

This year’s G20 summit is also attended by nine guest countries as well as the invited International organizations. As part of the current G20 summit, five meetings will be held in Guwahati and Dibrugarh.
