Scores of international students, including those from G20 countries, on Saturday participated in a march organised here to celebrate India’s presidency of the multilateral forum. Holding tricolours and balloons, a number of school students and teachers participated in the G-20 ‘World Peace March’ from Gandhi Darshan near Rajghat to Chart Lal Goel Heritage Park at Red Fort.
Nearly 120 international students participated in the march. They were welcomed with garlands and flowers. The students were seen holding colourful flags and placards carrying messages of world peace and unity.
The event was organised by former Union minister and BJP leader Vijay Goel. Prerna, who is from Mauritius and a student of SSR Medical college, was elated.

Julia from Russia said she enjoyed walking through Old Delhi and exploring the Indian culture.”It is fantastic and we enjoyed the event, walking through Old Delhi. I think this is the best place to host the G20.
