The 2023 G20 New Delhi summit (Hindi: 2023 G20 नई दिल्ली शिखर सम्मेलन) is the upcoming eighteenth meeting of G20 (Group of Twenty), a summit scheduled to take place in Bharat Mandapam International Exhibition-Convention Centre (IECC), Pragati Maidan, New Delhi in 2023.[7] It will be the first G20 summit to be held in India as well as in South Asia.

Presidency[edit]

The G20 New Delhi Summit will be 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 Narendra Modi at the close of the Bali summit. Indonesia held the presidency in 2022.[8]

Agenda priorities[edit]

G20 India has put forth six agenda priorities for the G20 dialogue in 2023:[9]

  • 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
  • Officials say African Union's inclusion in G20 may happen, giving it voting rights. G20 nations support this proposal. Decision pending. It is one of the main agenda in Delhi G20 Summit.[10]

In an interview on 26 August 2023, Prime Minister Narendra 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.[11][12][13]

Background[edit]

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.[14]

However, after a request made by Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, India exchanged its presidency of the G-20 with Indonesia because Indonesia would also chair the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2023.[15]

Criticism[edit]

A counter-summit, 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 for advertising and displacing thousands of impoverished people as part of renovations made in preparation for the summit. The summit 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.[16][17][18]

In the lead up to the G20 meeting, the Indian authorities including Archaeological Survey of India embarked on a mass demolition drive against homeless shelters and slum neighborhoods across New Delhi resulting in the eviction of its marginalized residents.[19][20][21]

Expected participating leaders[edit]

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