What is the G20?

The G20, or Group of Twenty, is an international forum for governments and central bank governors from 19 countries and the European Union. It was established in 1999 in response to the Asian financial crises of the late 1990s. Starting from 2008, the G20 has been held annually. During these meetings, the leaders, foreign ministers, finance ministers, and other top officials of the member countries participate. The G20 brings together major advanced and emerging economies to discuss and coordinate policies on various global economic issues, such as financial stability, trade, and development. 

The Presidency of G20 keeps rotating every few years. India holds the Presidency of the G20 from December 1, 2020, to November 30, 2023. The theme of India’s Presidency is “VasudhaivaKutumbakam" or "One Earth. One Family. One Future"
