The Foreign Secretary said Modi will hold bilateral meetings with several leaders on the margins of the G-20. He will be holding a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Group of Twenty-G-20 is a leading forum of the world’s major economies that seeks to develop global policies to address today’s most pressing economic challenges. The G20 was instrumental in stabilizing the world economy. Since then, its agenda has expanded to include additional issues affecting financial markets, trade and development. Collectively, G20 members represent all inhabited continents, 85 per cent of global economic output, two-thirds of the world’s population and 75 per cent of international trade.
