The first meeting of Business 20 (B20) — G20’s business group — will focus on key issues from climate action and building resilient global value chains to promoting financial inclusion and raising digitally inclusive society.
The three-day meeting, starting January 22, will see participation of key Indian business leaders, policymakers, senior executives representing G20 nations, in Gandhinagar, the capital of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state Gujarat.
“The priorities during B20 India will be centred around the overall vision of ‘RAISE: Responsible, Accelerated, Innovative, Sustainable and Equitable Businesses’, the theme for B20 India,” business lobby group Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) said in a statement on Sunday. The government has designated CII as the B20 Secretariat. It will also lead and host B20 during India's G20 Presidency.
