Following India, Brazil is in line to host the summit in 2024.
The Summit was held at Bharat Mandapam International Exhibition-Convention Centre (IECC), previously known as Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India from 9th - 10th September 2023. The theme of G20 Summit is 2023 is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which translates to 'Whole World is one family'. The 2-day meeting hosted by India, took place at a time of increasing political and economic rivalry, in which the world's leading and emerging economies are shaping new alliances around the globe. The themes chosen by the Indian presidency and the decision taken by the G20 leaders to grant permanent member status to the African Union (AU) reflect the growing importance that the G20 members attach to the states from the 'Global South'.
