Great Responsibility: India's G20 Presidency

India's G20 Presidency would be a watershed moment in her history as it seeks to play an important role by finding pragmatic global solutions for the wellbeing of all, and in doing so, manifest the true spirit of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' or the 'World is One Family'.

?In 2022, the task for India is equally crucial, given the lasting effects of the Russian war in Ukraine, western sanctions on energy that will deepen this month, economic downturns, pandemic worries and climate change issues that are testing the foundations of globalisation and an interconnected global economy.?At a time India itself faces economic distress and social and communal tensions, having raised the pitch on India’s global prominence as G-20 President, and its power to shape the global narrative, it suggests that with great power comes great responsibility, and a greater spotlight on its ability to translate its global dreams into the domestic landscape as well.

India's G20 presidency is coming at a time of crisis and chaos in the world. The world is going through the after-effects of a disruptive once-in-a-century pandemic, conflicts and lot of economic uncertainty.?

India is such a rich and living democracy of the world. India has as much diversity as it has uniqueness. This democracy, this diversity, this indigenous approach, this inclusive thinking, this local lifestyle, and these global thoughts, today the world is looking at solutions to all its challenges in these ideas. The G-20 can come in handy as a big opportunity for this.?
