New Delhi [India], September 8 : Spouses of G20 leaders who are participating in the Summit will also visit the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) in New Delhi.
Many leaders from around the world landed in New Delhi on Friday for the Summit to be held on September 9 and 10.
Spouses of G20 leaders will visit the NGMA, which will be showcasing artefacts from the museums of Chennai, Kolkata and Chandigarh. The gallery will represent Indian culture and craftsmanship to the visitors.
The G20 summit will be attended by world leaders and delegates representing international organisations and will be hosted at the state-of-the-art Bharat Mandapam over two days.
Earlier today, G20 Chief Coordinator Harsh Vardhan Shringla said that India’s presidency will bring economic benefits to the country as the G20 meetings and activities included extensive participation of people through "Jan Bhagidari" from across the nation.
“We would have received a total of 100,000 visitors for our G 20 presidency from over 125 nationalities and for many of them this has been a discovery of a new India. G 20 presidency will bring economic benefits to our country and to our citizens,” Shringla said during a pre-summit press conference at the International Media Centre.
This is the first time that G20 Summit is taking place under India’s presidency. The event will be graced by many global leaders and delegates. Extensive preparations and arrangements have been made for the summit, with an intention of showcasing both India’s soft power as well as modern face.
One of the takeaways of India’s G20 presidency is the revolutionisation of Digital Payment Infrastructure, as initially very few people knew about it, but it has taken forward extensively, G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant said on Friday.
