Mao Ning said China hopes that the G20 Summit scheduled to be held in New Delhi from September 9-10 will form consensus and send out a message of confidence and promote shared prosperity and development.
In an exclusive interview to ANI, Lekhi emphasised that India, which represents the Global South, is in the right position to engage in conversation with G20 nations and talk about the needs of the underdeveloped nations which are "very rich in resources."
With the global economy facing uncertainty and instability in recent years vis-à-vis geopolitical developments, the role of the G20, as a platform connecting the world’s major developed and emerging economies, assumes greater significance in shaping the global trends.
Sharing details regarding the welcome planned for delegates, the hotel manager of The Lalit Hotel said that they will welcome them with Indian traditional folk music.
Amid media reports that some heads of state may skip the G20 Summit in India next week, sources said that many leaders skip global summits for their own reasons from time to time and it is not always possible for every leader to attend every summit
"While in New Delhi, the President will also commend Prime Minister Modi’s leadership of the G20 and reaffirm the US commitment to the G20 as the premier forum of economic cooperation, including by hosting it in 2026," read the White House statement.
As the national capital gears up to host world leaders in the G20 Summit under India's Presidency, many of the top hotels have been booked to welcome the delegates for the event.
India will host the G20 summit next month which will see the "biggest participation in the history" of the grouping with arrangements in place for the mega event including that for the stay of leaders of member countries and the invited guest countries
