India is set to play a crucial role at the upcoming G20 Summit in Johannesburg in November 2025, leveraging its position as the world’s fastest-growing major economy with a 7.8% growth rate in Q1 2025. Building on the diplomatic foundation laid during its 2023 G20 presidency, India aims to drive inclusive global economic growth, sustainable development, and equitable governance reforms under the theme “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (One Earth, One Family, One Future). Key focus areas include supporting small and medium enterprises, digital trade, climate finance, and green transitions, aligning with the Global South’s priorities. India is also expected to bridge divergent interests amid global geopolitical tensions, asserting its strategic autonomy while advocating multilateral cooperation on economic recovery, climate action, and peacebuilding. The summit marks a significant opportunity for India to consolidate its global leadership role in shaping a fair and sustainable post-pandemic world order.
