The 2023 G20 New Delhi summit was the eighteenth meeting of G20 (Group of Twenty). It was held in Bharat Mandapam International Exhibition-Convention Centre, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi on 9–10 September 2023. It was the first G20 summit held in India.[2][8][9]

Background

Originally, India was scheduled to host the G20 summit in 2021 and Italy in 2022. At the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit in Argentina, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he had requested Italy to host the summit in 2021 and allow India to host it in 2022, on the occasion of the 75th year of India’s independence. Italy agreed to let India host the G20 summit in 2022 in its place, owing to the momentum in bilateral ties.[10]

However, after a request made by Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, India exchanged its presidency of the G20 with Indonesia because Indonesia would also chair the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2023.[11]

Presidency

The G20 New Delhi Summit is chaired by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

India's presidency began on 1 December 2022, leading up to the summit in the third quarter of 2023. The presidency handover ceremony was held, in which the G20 Presidency gavel was transferred from Indonesian President Joko Widodo to Indian Prime Minister Modi at the close of the Bali summit. Indonesia held the presidency in 2022.[12]

Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi formally handed over the G20 presidency to the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. India will continue to hold the position until 30 November 2023.[13]

Agenda priorities

G20 India has put forth six agenda priorities for the G20 dialogue in 2023:[14]

  • Green Development, Climate Finance & LiFE
  • Accelerated, Inclusive & Resilient Growth
  • Accelerating progress on SDGs
  • Technological Transformation & Digital Public Infrastructure
  • Multilateral Institutions for the 21st century
  • Women-led development

In an interview on 26 August 2023, Prime Minister Modi expressed optimism about the G20 countries' evolving agenda under India's presidency, shifting toward a human-centric development approach that aligns with the concerns of the Global South, including addressing climate change, debt restructuring through the G20's Common Framework for Debt, and a strategy for regulation of global cryptocurrencies.[15][16][17]

Preparations

The Government of India budgeted Rs. 990 crore (120 million USD) for the G20 events.[18] For the security of the event, the government has deployed 130,000 security personnel, including 80,000 police officers from Delhi Police.[19]

Restrictions in Delhi

In the shutdown imposed on the 32 million people living in Delhi, all schools, offices, workplaces, marketplaces, restaurants and non-food shops were ordered to close for three days. Meanwhile, traffic advisories were issued in regards with the movement on the roads,[20] all food deliveries were banned and people were recommended to stay at home.[21]

Participating leaders

The Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping decided to skip the summit in the Indian capital.[22][23]

Invited guests

Participating international organization guests

Counter-meeting

A counter-meeting, titled the "We20 People’s Summit", was held in Delhi on 18 August 2023, with 400 to 500 participants representing over 70 "peoples’ movements, trade unions, and civil society organisations" attending the event. It was held to criticise the perceived neoliberal, elite, and exclusionary nature of the G20 group, claiming that its efforts to protect the environment were insufficient, as well as the Modi government for using the event to promote its political aims, spending considerable sums on advertising and displacing thousands of impoverished people as part of renovations made in preparation for the summit. The meeting was planned to run through 26 August, but the venue was blockaded on the second day by police as permission was not granted for the event. After permission was denied the next day, the event was forced to conclude early, leading to criticism of the government's response by the event attendees and other commentators as a part of continued democratic backsliding in India.[32][33][34]
