British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and US President Joe Biden are set to be among the first world leaders to touch down in New Delhi for the highly anticipated two-day G20 Summit 2023, which is scheduled to commence on September 9. The summit will take place at the expansive Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre in Pragati Maidan and is poised to address a spectrum of pressing global concerns. These issues encompass the imperative transition to clean energy, the battle against climate change, strategies for mitigating the far-reaching economic and social ramifications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and approaches to combat poverty, among others.
In an effort to tackle these pressing concerns, the G20 Summit 2023 is expected to unite world leaders in productive discussions and collaborations aimed at fostering a sustainable and equitable future. The international community looks to these prominent figures for strategies and policies that will steer the world towards a better tomorrow.
Notably, US President Joe Biden's attendance at the G20 Summit 2023 has been subject to heightened attention, especially regarding health and safety measures. As part of the precautions, President Biden has diligently adhered to Covid-19 guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) throughout his visit to India for this significant international gathering. Furthermore, these precautions come on the heels of First Lady Jill Biden's positive Covid-19 test result earlier in the week, prompting heightened vigilance. President Biden, 80, was tested for the virus on Monday and Tuesday following his wife's positive test, but his results were negative.
As the world watches these leaders convene, expectations are high for the G20 Summit to yield resolutions and commitments that will impact global policy, economy, and society in the years to come.
