G-20: Brazil takes over leadership from India

India formally handed over the G20 chairmanship to Brazil this weekend during the summit’s closing ceremony in New Delhi.

During the two-day summit, the group adopted a consensus declaration in which it made commitments on a range of issues, including climatic change, the vulnerability of global debt, and food and energy security.

The group should have a “virtual summit” by the end of November to assess the advancement of the ideas and projects put up by the members and determine “how their progress can be accelerated,” Modi also said on Sunday.

“In that session, we can review the topics decided during this summit,” Modi said, adding that details would be shared with members.
