More than 25 world leaders, including US President Joe Biden and UK PM Rishi Sunak, are participating in the two-day G20 Summit at the Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre in New Delhi, starting today.
The world leaders started arriving in India yesterday for the crucial geopolitical summit, which Indian PM Narendra Modi said, will chart a new path in human-centric and inclusive development. Narendra Modi arrived at the Convention Centre today to welcome the guests.
