"The PM also brought out the fact that despite challenges of the pandemic, India continued to be a trusted partner in the context of reliable supply chains," Shringla told the special briefing in Rome on Saturday.

The SCRI, first&nbsp;proposed by Japan, aims to reduce dependence on China&nbsp;amid a likelihood of rechurning of supply chains in the Indo-Pacific region amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Sunday, the prime minister is also expected to have a meeting with Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the sidelines of the G20 Summit apart from participating in discussions on “Climate Change and Environment and Sustainable Development”.

Apart from the ‘Supply Chain Resilience’ event, a hectic schedule is lined up for PM Modi on Sunday.

He will begin the day in Rome by visiting the historical centre - the Trevi Fountain. The historical Trevi Fountain has drawn many filmmakers to it who have popularised the Baroque art-styled monument as the epitome of a place of romance.
