What PM Modi’s schedule looks like
PM Modi is expected to attend the third working session of the G20 summit, which will be based on “Digital Transformation.” He is also expected to hold bilateral meetings with leaders of eight countries on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia.
On Tuesday, PM Modi addressed the G20 working session on Food and Energy security. In the event, he made his stance clear on the long-standing Russia-Ukraine war. The PM urged both sides to favour dialogue and diplomacy in Ukraine and said, “we have to find a way to return to the path of the ceasefire.” Reminding the leaders about the devastation World War 2 caused, he said “Over the past century, the Second World War wreaked havoc in the world. After that, the leaders of that time made a serious effort to take the path of peace. Now it’s our turn.” PM Modi during his visit to Bali also met the Indian diaspora in Indonesia and talked about the long-standing relationship between India and Indonesia.
On the sidelines of the G20 Summit, PM Modi met various world leaders such as the United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. This was the first time both the leaders met face to face. Before this, they had conversations on the phone. India is all set to assume the presidency of the G20 summit, which will be organised in India next year.
