The G20 or Group of Twenty is a premier forum that works towards international economic cooperation. This group plays an important role in shaping and strengthening global architecture and governance on major international economic issues. These member countries make up around 85 percent of the global GDP, over 75 per cent of global trade, and about two-thirds of the world population. Every year members of the G20, guest countries and international organisations come together to discuss these issues at the summit. The first G20 Summit was held in 2008 in Washington, US. Since then the G20 Summit 2023 is going to be the 18th meeting of the G20 Group. International leaders, heads of international organisations and regional organisations will be flying to New Delhi, India to take part in the G20 Summit 2023.
