PM Narendra Modi’s G20 Summit signoff

After the two most important announcements on Saturday — the inclusion of the African Union into the G20 club and a consensus on the New Delhi Declaration — the concluding day of the Leaders’ Summit was meant for a few bilaterals and a trip to Rajghat to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi. On a rainy Sunday morning, the last session of the Summit didn’t have a full house at Bharat Mandapam — the scene of action for the Summit in the capital. US President Joe Biden left for his next stop —Vietnam — soon after his Rajghat outing.At the end of the session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the Summit closed, and proposed a virtual G20 session in November before the presidency officially goes to Brazil.   The ceremonial transfer was, however, marked by Modi handing over th...

PM Modi opens the meeting with ‘Bharat’ nameplate

Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the 18th G20 Leaders' Summit on Saturday with his opening remarks. During his address, the country's nameplate read "Bharat" instead of the traditional "India". The debate around the country's name erupted on social media earlier this week following the G20 Summit invitations going out in the name of the "President of Bharat" and not as the "President of India".

It triggered a war of words on social media, with BJP leaders clashing with the Opposition and several celebrities and sports personalities also wading into the row. According to media reports, the Centre may i...

Sitharaman for attracting pvt investment to develop urban infra

China — the world's largest bilateral creditor to low- and middle-income countries — is yet to come on board for a common understanding on debt resolution for such nations, said sources in the know about discussions at the third meeting of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) here.   The debt crisis, a priority area for India in G20 discussions, has been aggravated following the Covid pandemic, and talks have taken place between the World Bank, the IMF, and China, as well as private lenders. The sources said some G20 nations are not keen on a one-size-fits-all thumb rule to restructure debt of vulnerable countries.   India’s G20 presidency is also pushing the envelope on digital public infrastructure and it is holding talks with Indones...
