<p>The G20 summit, that brings together the leaders of the world's largest economies, will take place on Tuesday in Bali, Indonesia. The G20—a group of 19 nations plus the European Union, comprises almost&nbsp;two-thirds of the world's population, 85 per cent&nbsp;of global output, and 75 per cent&nbsp;of world trade. As of 2022,&nbsp;Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, and the European Union make up the group's 20 members.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>History and significance of G20</strong></h2>

<p>Created in 1999 with the intention of bringing the most significant industrialised and developing nations together to discuss&nbsp;global economic and financial stability, The G20 leaders' annual meeting, which started in 2008, has grown into a significant forum&nbsp;for talking about economics and other urgent global concerns. Despite&nbsp;the group's effective involvement&nbsp;in the 2008 financial crisis, its coherence has subsequently deteriorated. For instance, analysts had heavily criticised&nbsp;its mediocre response to the COVID-19 outbreak.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/g20-meet-live-updates-us-president-will-seek-to-establish-red-lines-in-face-to-face-talks-with-xi-533875">G20 leaders</a> gather annually to coordinate policies on an array of issues. Examples include the 2009 G20 summit debate about how to deal with a clandestine Iranian nuclear facility and the 2017 summit discussion of how to implement a partial cease-fire in Syria. The G20 is not an organisation with a permanent location, personnel, or offices. Instead, it has a consensus-based decision-making process, a yearly leadership rotation among its members, and depends on the political will of each member state to carry out its goal.</p>

<h2><strong>Key issues of G20 Summit this year</strong></h2>

<p>In addition to the keynote addresses by world leaders, a range&nbsp;of bilateral talks&nbsp;will take place against the backdrop of ongoing tensions around the world, including those caused by the invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing economic and environmental consequences, the climate crisis, North Korea's simmering nuclear programme, and China's expanding global aspirations.</p>

<p>Since the onset of the COVID-19&nbsp;pandemic, this meeting of world leaders has grown significantly, and Indonesia, the host nation, has created an agenda that sheds importance on&nbsp;renewable energy, global health initiatives, and economic recovery from the pandemic.</p>

<h2><strong>What is India's agenda at G20?</strong></h2>

<p>Prior to his arrival in Bali, Foreign Secretary Vinay Kwatra stated on Sunday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet with several global leaders and discuss India's&nbsp;shifting G20 goals with them.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Indian PM Narendra Modi will take part in three important sessions on food and energy security, digital transformation, and health, according to Kwatra. He and other world leaders will also hold extensive discussions on a number of contemporary burning topics, including the state of the world economy, issues pertaining&nbsp;energy, environment, agriculture, health, and digital transformation.</p>
