Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday flew into this Chinese city for the G20 summit and talks with world leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping on boosting trade growth and removing irritants in bilateral ties like India’s NSG bid and the CPEC, which runs through POK. “Hello Hangzhou! PM lands in China to attend the G20 Summit,” Modi tweeted, along with a photo showing him shaking hands with officials after landing.
Global economic slowdown, raising protectionism, structural reforms to expand global trade and creation of jobs, innovation, inclusive growth and climate finance are the key topics to be discussed at the two-day G20 summit starting in this picturesque Chinese city on Sunday.
"India will engage constructively on all the issues before us and work towards finding solutions and taking forward the agenda for a robust, inclusive and sustainable international economic order that uplifts the socio-economic conditions of people across the world, especially those who need it most in developing countries," Prime Minister Modi has said in his tweet on the G20 summit.
Ahead of the G20 summit, leaders of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) will meet to finalise their strategy for highlighting issues exercising emerging economies.
Heads of the five countries will also be meeting in Goa next month during the BRICS summit to work more coordinated strategy in the face of global economic slowdown and to counter protectionist measures.
