India will assume the presidency of the G20, an intergovernmental forum of the world’s major developed and developing economies, from the current chair Indonesia on December 1.

“It is a matter of pride for all Indians; it will bring greater glory for all Indians,” he said.

The logo, theme and website of India’s G20 presidency reflected the country’s “message and overarching priorities” to the world.

The G20 logo comprises the four colours of India’s national flag, with an earth sitting atop a lotus. The seven petals indicate the seven seas and the coming together of seven continents at G20 India 2023, to imply the message of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: One Earth, One Family, One Future.

The G20 summit is taking place on November 15 and 16 in Bali and Modi is set to be among top leaders attending it.
