Decoding G20 Summit 2023: What a MATLAB WordCloud Reveals

The G20 India Summit 2023 in New Delhi has been the talk of the town, especially with India playing the host and PM Narendra Modi at the helm. Amidst geopolitical complexities and the absence of key leaders like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, the summit was a crucial platform for India. But what were the core themes that emerged from this global event?

To dig deeper, I used MATLAB to create a WordCloud of the Leaders' Declaration. The code focused on significant terms, filtering out words and numbers up to 4 characters and converting the text to lowercase.

vision = string(fileread([filename '.txt']));
punctuationCharacters = ["." "?" "!" "," ";" ":"];
vision = replace(vision,punctuationCharacters," ");
words = split(join(vision));
words(strlength(words)<5) = [];
words = lower(words);
C = categorical(words);
figure; 
wc = wordcloud(C);
title(sprintf("Word Cloud for %s",filename));
filename = [filename '.jpg'];
saveas(gcf,filename);
WordTable = [wc.WordData(1:10); wc.SizeData(1:10)]';
disp(WordTable)        

The WordCloud revealed intriguing insights. The most frequent terms were "global," "support," and "development." These terms offer a glimpse into what world leaders are prioritizing. Do these terms align with what you expected from the summit?

In conclusion, the G20 Summit has set new agendas on a global scale, and this MATLAB-generated WordCloud provides a unique lens to view these priorities. What are your thoughts on the summit's outcomes? Do you think the event met its objectives?

I invite you to share your insights. What do you think the WordCloud reveals about the G20 Summit? Any surprises or expected trends? Let's get the conversation started.
