The recent G20 summit in Delhi marked a milestone for India as it set the stage for significant global initiatives, orchestrated an intricate diplomatic ballet, and spotlighted the nation's growing international influence. The event was underscored by themes of sustainability, green development, and inclusivity, mirroring India's evolving global image.

India's diplomatic prowess was on full display at the summit. The nation's diplomats navigated the choppy waters of global politics, notably the tension surrounding Russia's war in Ukraine. Barely avoiding a diplomatic impasse, India managed to craft a joint declaration that addressed the conflict without explicitly condemning Russia, striking a delicate balance that won the approval of key allies such as Germany and the US.
