This year, on the 9-10th September, the annual G20 Leaders’ Summit took place in India. The 2023 New Delhi Summit marked the 18th meeting of the G20, with India as president having put forward the theme “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth, One Family, One Future”.
We invited several of FPC’s research fellows and friends to provide us with their analysis of G20 members’ policy priorities approaching the Summit.
Looking ahead:
Over the course of the autumn, the Foreign Policy Centre will be rolling out a new series with invited experts providing comment on the thematic priorities laid out by India for the G20 (full list below). There will be a focus on how successful current British policy has been at addressing these priorities, as well as establishing what the UK’s position and ambitions in these areas should be moving forward.
– Multilateral institutions for the 21st century
– Accelerating progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
– Technological transformation & digital public infrastructure
