G20 is a group of twenty countries working towards strengthening international economic cooperation. After the completion of 18 summits, India is hosting the 19th G20 Summit 2023. This is the first G20 summit to be held in South Asia. It’s a matter of great pride for India to be able to hold the G20 summit in the nation. Presidents and Prime Ministers from the 20 member nations will be arriving in the nation soon. For enhanced security and easy management, the government has decided to close all the schools, colleges, and government offices in the city for three days i.e. (8th Sept- 10th Sept).
