New Delhi (Agency): India is hosting the G20 Summit for the first time, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has big plans. He says the summit will focus on “human-centric and inclusive development.” What does this mean? It means the summit wants to make the world better for everyone, not just for rich countries or big companies.
Prime Minister Modi said India’s role in the G20 has been “inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented.” This means India has been active and made sure everyone is involved, including countries from the Global South, which are mostly poorer countries. This shows that India wants to be a leader that helps everyone.
A special part of the summit will be remembering the lessons from Gandhi Ji, a very important figure in India’s history. Gandhi Ji believed in helping the “underprivileged,” or people who don’t have many opportunities or resources. Modi said it is important to serve these people, just like Gandhi Ji did. This is what he means by “human-centric” development; it’s about making life better for all people.
The summit will have sessions with topics like ‘One Earth’, ‘One Family’ and ‘One Future’. These sessions will discuss many problems that the world is facing today. They will talk about how to make growth strong and balanced, so that everyone benefits. Modi also said he will meet with leaders from other countries to make friendships stronger.
To honor Gandhi Ji, the leaders at the summit will go to Rajghat on September 10, 2023. This is a place in India where people remember Gandhi Ji. At the end of the summit, leaders will share their plans for a better future. They will talk about how the world can be like ‘One Family’ living on a healthier ‘One Earth’.
On social media, Modi expressed his excitement: “India is delighted to host the 18th G20 Summit on 09-10 September 2023 at New Delhi’s iconic Bharat Mandapam. This is the first ever G20 Summit being hosted by India. I look forward to productive discussions with world leaders over the next two days.”
