India’s G20

Presidency: A Beacon of Diplomacy and Development

When we invest in the future of people anywhere, people everywhere benefit. Together, we’re unlocking a shared future of what I believe to be unlimited potential. A partnership that is among the most consequential in the world, that is stronger, closer, and more dynamic than any time in history.

— Joe Biden

We have to safeguard climate justice. It requires affordable financing and environmentally sound technology for developing countries. Vision of transparent, equitable, nondiscriminatory, open, inclusive and rulebased global trading architecture should underpin collective efforts.

— Narendra Modi

India has shown great leadership and vision in hosting the first ever Voice of the Global South Summit, which brought together 125 countries to discuss their common challenges and aspirations. This is a remarkable example of multilateralism and solidarity.

— Rishi Sunak

Truly a watershed moment, the 18th G20 Summit of 2023 in New Delhi on September 9-10, 2023, emerged as a global platform of unity and solidarity with its theme of “One Earth, One Family, One Future.” India successfully accomplished consensus around the New Delhi Declaration on the first day of the mega leaders’ summit, with clear focus on UN Sustainable Development Goals, climate action and green development initiatives, multilateral financing, digital public infrastructure, artificial intelligence, among others. An important milestone was the emphasis on One Health approach — where diseases in animals, plants, and humans are tracked by the same mechanism — with focus on tackling antimicrobial resistance

Ind I a’s G20 Pres I dency

Spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi brilliantly, Team India hosted more than 30 world leaders at the G20 leaders’ summit in New Delhi. The leaders included US President Mr. Joe Biden, Brazil President Mr. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Türkiye President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, British Prime Minister Mr. Rishi Sunak, French President Mr. Emmanuel Macron, Chinese Premier Mr. Li Qiang, Italian Prime Minister Ms. Giorgia Meloni, Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Fumio Kishida, and Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

The member countries unanimously adopted the G20 New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration, avoiding condemnation of Russia for the war in Ukraine, but calling on all states to refrain from the use of force to seize territory. It also called on states to abide by the principles of the UN Charter and dubbed the use or threat of nuclear weapons ‘inadmissible’. It called on both the nations to ensure immediate and unhindered delivery of grains, fertilisers and other goods to “meet the demand in developing and least developed countries, particularly those in Africa.” The document also called for an end to military destruction or other attacks on food and energy infrastructure, and flagged concerns about high levels of volatility in food and energy markets.

A defining moment of India’s G20 presidency was the induction of the African Union into the G20 as a permanent member, marking a turning point in global

diplomacy. Since the formation of the bloc in 1999, this is the first time a new member has been added to the grouping.

The G20 member countries committed to a ‘phasedown’ of coal in line with national circumstances. With major fossil fuel producers, including Saudi Arabia, Russia and Australia, and coal-dependent nations such as India and South Africa, at the table, the bloc also pledged to triple renewable energy sources by 2030. The landmark document underscored the significance of climate financing, putting forth the need for $5.8-5.9 trillion in the pre-2030 period for developing countries to implement their nationally determined contributions.

The New Delhi Declaration also called for the reform of international financial institutions, managing debt vulnerabilities of low and middle-income countries, and the start of the exchange of tax-relevant information on crypto assets by 2027. It welcomed the initial steps taken by the Financial Stability Board, Standard Setting Bodies and certain jurisdictions to examine what lessons can be

learned from the recent banking turbulence and encouraged them to advance their ongoing work. It committed to pursuing reforms for better, bigger and more effective multilateral development banks to address global challenges to maximise developmental impact. Furthermore, India played a vital role in establishing a consensus on a debt relief strategy that would benefit Zambia, Ghana, and Ethiopia, helping them address their fiscal challenges.

Three healTh PrioriTies

A highlight of the 34-page G20 New Delhi Declaration with 112 outcomes was its emphasis on three health priorities – health emergencies’ prevention, preparedness and response with a focus on antimicrobial resistance and One Health framework; strengthening cooperation in the pharmaceuticals sector with a focus on access and availability of safe, effective, quality and affordable medical countermeasures; and digital health innovations to aid universal health coverage and improve healthcare service delivery.

Celebrating India’s G20 Presidency, the ABSF was in sync with this year’s G20 theme of ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’ for promoting the universal sense of one-ness

The latest edition of AsiaOne Media Group’s celebrated forums marked a significant milestone. The forum not only convened eminent business and social leaders and diplomats to deliberate on collective efforts towards a sustainable future, but also recognised and highlighted the substantial progress achieved by business entities contributing to a more just and sustainable world. Moreover, it delved into the strategies for achieving sustainability in the future.

The summit underscored the importance of collective action among business, social, and political leaders, and fostered global collaboration, especially between developed countries and emerging economies.

A noteworthy component of the ABSF was the Healthier India Conclave 2023, which gathered government officials and distinguished leaders from the healthcare and wellness industries, as well as representatives from international and national organisations, key stakeholders, decision-makers, non-profit organisations, community leaders, innovators, and technology providers. Together, they worked on charting a framework for a healthier India. Some of the prominent leaders recognised at the summit were Dr. Cyrus S. Poonawalla, Founder, Serum Institute of India; Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairperson, Biocon Group; Dr. Christina Rahm, Founder, DRC Ventures; Dr. Satya Vadlamani, Chairperson, Murli Krishna Pharma Pvt.

The panelists unanimously concurred that realising the vision of “One Earth” requires a resolute commitment to actively pursue the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and contribute our fair share.

The discussion emphasised the imperative of working together as a united global family to create a sustainable and equitable future for all.

In the spirit of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ which emphasises the oneness of humanity, we hosted every delegate as a part of our global family. Our respected Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has garnered worldwide acclaim. During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, India’s economic resilience shone brightly, while the world grappled with economic turmoil, India became the fifth largest economy. I would like to commend the organisers of ABSF, Murali Krishna Pharma, The ROOT Brands, and Rajat ji, and all those who have contributed to its success.

Prof. S.P. Singh Baghel

Shri Ajay Bhatt

Iextend my warm congratulations to the esteemed guests assembled at the prestigious awards show of the Greatest Brands & Leaders 2023, organised by the 21st Asian Business & Social Forum 2023. I also wish you all a heartfelt Ganesh Chaturthi and extend my congratulations on the inauguration of India’s new Parliament.

In a country with a population of 1.4 billion, the number of Padma Awards is limited. Awards like these play an important role in recognising and rewarding hardworking individuals. These awards have a profound impact, motivating many to continue their relentless pursuit of excellence.

With the collective effort of all of you and under the visionary leadership of PM Shri Narendra Modi, India is on the path to becoming a global superpower. As we approach the year 2047, the centenary of our independence, I am confident that India will rise to become the world’s foremost economic power.

Iam immensely proud and honoured to receive this award from AsiaOne. My passion truly lies in sustainability, and I am dedicated to ensuring that India and all its citizens have the same opportunities for a green transition as as my country gave to me. That’s why we have to work together to secure that each and everyone will be part of the green growth and the green transition. Denmark has established the Green Strategic Partnership with India. India has made strong commitments to a better & greener planet to a more sustainable planet. It requires all of us to work together to ensure that each and every individual becomes a part of the green growth and the green transition. I thank AsiaOne for this fantastic award, which will further inspire me in my passion and enable me to do everything I can, both individually and collectively, to ensure that we create a sustainable, green, wonderful, and fantastic world, with India in a leadership role.

E. Mr. Freddy Svane

Iam extremely delighted to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the remarkable leadership demonstrated by the Indian presidency throughout its tenure in the G20. India’s unwavering support for the Sustainable Development Goals’ targets, the reform of multilateral & global financial organisations, as well as debt restructuring for developing nations, is widely acclaimed by the Global South for fostering a more equitable & sustainable world and signalling a commitment to inclusivity. In this regard, I express my profound appreciation and gratitude for India’s successful diplomatic efforts in incorporating the African Union into the G20, which is truly a testament to its commitment to broader and more inclusive representation. As Ethiopia enjoys a long-standing & excellent relationship with India, we look forward to enhanced partnership in multilateral forums on issues such as global peace & security, counter-terrorism, climate change, & more.

PM Narendra Modi ji’s leadership gave a new direction not only to the international community, but also to the people of India. Mr. Amitabh Kant, who was India’s Sherpa to the G20, carved out in every state an understanding with the people as to not only educate them, but also to involve them in the future growth of the G20. The Foreign Minister, Mr. S. Jaishankar was able to resolve many issues as the foreign minister. This gave a sense of not only great understanding amongst nations, but also drew in a lot of economic cooperation. The 21st Asian Business and Social Forum carried on the baton very gracefully by awarding all those outstanding Indian businessmen who are not only doing business with the G20 countries, but also other countries. I have observed and participated in many conferences in India way back in the Eighties. I have had the opportunity of interviewing a number of Heads of States. We have seen how India irons out very tough issues very smoothly.

H.E. Dr. Janice Darbari

t gives me great pleasure to belong to a country whose vision for the whole world is conceptualised through Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family). The largest democracy in the world, rightfully took the leadership of the G20 in 2023. The participation of the major countries of the world, with tracks & sessions held across the country, highlighted India’s economic might and position in global politics. G20 also created a platform for the world to experience India’s beautiful culture.

India has contributed immensely to the restoration of the Angkor Wat Temple, which stands as the world’s largest temple complex & an extension of Hinduism & Buddhism in Cambodia. India is seen as the birthplace of Cambodia’s 97% Buddhist population, & India-Cambodia relations will continue to be important to us. Congratulations to the Indian leadership & the team for setting the priorities for the world right.

Thank you very much, the G20 and the 21st Edition of Asian Business & Social Forum celebration. I am deeply honoured to be at the celebration with the esteemed guests. As a grand-daughter and a senior citizen, I believe that Mahatma Gandhi would have appreciated very much what our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is doing for bringing the world together.

Mahatma Gandhi brought the whole world together, and our Honourable Prime Minister has recognised that development is not only technology, but also human development. This is why the theme of India’s G20 Presidency is ‘One Family, One Earth, and One Future.’ I acknowledge personally, and I am very proud. Mahatma Gandhi does not belong to one family, one country; he belongs to the entire world. He belongs to all of you. I find the same spirit in Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi as well. Mahatma Gandhi is not only my family; we are all one family. There is a bit of Gandhi in each one of us.
