India will take over the presidency for one year
After the meeting in Indonesia, India will take over the Group of 20 presidency for one year.
'Recover Together, Recover Stronger' was the theme picked by Indonesia when it took charge last year. But the Russia-Ukraine war that began in February now threatens food and fuel shortages.
The leaders will hold three working sessions - on food and energy security, digital transformations, and health. Modi is expected to participate in all three.
