CENTRE TO CONVENE AN ALL-PARTY MEET ON MONDAY TO FINALISE STRATEGIES FOR THE G-20 SUMMIT

On Monday, the Center will call an all-party meeting to discuss and finalise the tactics for the G-20 summit that India will host in September of next year.

Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi has invited the leaders of close to 40 parties to the meeting, which will also feature Prime Minister Narendra Modi. S. Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, is also anticipated to attend the meeting at Rashtrapati Bhavan.

On December 1, India formally took up the G20 Presidency. Beginning in December of this year, New Delhi is anticipated to hold over 200 gatherings around the nation, including Hyderabad. On September 9 and 10, 2019, New Delhi will play host to the next G20 Leaders' Summit at the level of heads of state or government. There will be several G20 gatherings around the nation. 

Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal and head of the Trinamool Congress, will attend the all-party meeting and will go to Delhi later on Sunday. Banerjee, however, emphasised that she would not be attending the conference in her official capacity as chief minister of West Bengal, but rather as chairwoman of the Trinamool Congress. 

At the Bali summit earlier this month, Indonesia had granted India the G20 presidency for the upcoming year, with Prime Minister Modi describing it as a source of pride for all Indian citizens. An international meeting of the world's leading developed and emerging economies is known as the G20 or Group of 20.

Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union are all included (EU).
