New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a three-day visit to Indonesia from today to attend the 17th G20 Summit in Bali. 

During the 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. These are food and energy security, health, and digital transformation.

Briefing media in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra said that during the Bali Summit, Prime Minister Modi and other G20 leaders will deliberate extensively upon key issues of contemporary relevance. These include the state of the global economy, and issues relating to energy, environment, health, agriculture, and digital transformation. 

He said G20 deliberations have acquired global salience in the current global economic and political context. He said the world is currently struggling with many important challenges which include uneven post-pandemic economic recovery, debt vulnerability, an ongoing conflict in Europe, and its knock on effects, such as food security challenges, energy crisis, and inflation. 

G20 leaders will discuss these challenges and underscore the importance of closer multilateral cooperation to help overcome these challenges. The G20 Summit programme also includes a

On the sidelines of the Summit, Prime Minister Modi will have several bilateral interactions with the G20 leaders to brief them on India's evolving G20 priorities and also to review key elements of bilateral engagements with these world leaders. He will also address and interact with the Indian community in Bali.

At the closing session of the Summit, the Indonesian President will symbolically hand over the G20 Presidency to Prime Minister Modi. India will formally assume the G20 Presidency from 1st December this year.

India will host the next G20 summit in September next year. India's G20 presidency hopes to provide new strength, direction and perspective to G20 discussions on diverse subjects which include green development, digital transformation, women-led development, and a greater voice to the Global South in issues of international economic cooperation.

The G20 is a premier forum for international economic cooperation and it plays a crucial role in shaping and strengthening the global architecture and governance on all major international economic and development issues. G20 members represent around 85 percent of the global GDP, over 75 percent of the global trade, and about two-thirds of the world's population.
