Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the G20 Leaders Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, from November 22-23, where he will address key sessions on sustainable economic growth, climate change, and the future of artificial intelligence. This summit marks a pivotal moment for developing nations, as it is the fourth consecutive G20 meeting held in the Global South, underscoring their growing influence in global governance. Notably, the absence of the United States raises questions about its commitment to multilateral economic forums, while India aims to push its agenda of digital infrastructure and climate-positive development. The summit presents an opportunity for India to reinforce its leadership role in global decision-making, particularly in fostering inclusive cooperation across economic and defense domains.
