The two-day summit has a tightly packed agenda, with its theme drawing inspiration from the Sanskrit phrase “vasudhaiva kutumbakam”, signifying “the world is one family”.
This inaugural summit hosted by India takes place at the International Exhibition-cum-Convention Centre (IECC) complex, also known as Bharat Mandapam, situated in central Delhi. Throughout the G20 Summit, Bharat Mandapam, often referred to as the “culture corridor,” will exhibit diverse traditions from 29 countries, encompassing India and special invitees to the G20. This showcase will include both physical and virtual exhibitions, creating an immersive experience for visitors.
