“In some way or the other, more than 1.5 crore people are involved in events being organised across the country in connection with the G20 Summit,” PM Modi said.

“About 200 meetings in connection with the summit were organised in 60 cities across the country. The G20 delegates were received warmly wherever they went. The delegates were impressed after experiencing the rich cultural diversity of our country and vibrant democracy. They also got a sense of the potential that our country has to shine on the global stage," PM Modi said. He highlighted that the G20 presidency has helped strengthen the call for 'Vocal for Local' and provided a platform for local artisans to reach a global audience.
“Every G2O delegate, who visited the country, was pleasantly surprised at the sheer richness and diversity of our artistic space. One such event showcasing our diversity in the field of art was organised in Surat. As many as 15,000 women from 15 states participated in the 'Saree Walkathon' in Surat. The event not only boosted Surat's textile industry but also strengthened the call for ‘Vocal for Local’ while also paving the way for local artisans to go global,” PM Modi added.
“During the G20 presidency, India has made the grouping of nations a more inclusive forum. The African Union also joined the G20 at India’s invitation and the voice of the people of Africa has reached this global platform," PM Modi added. The G20 Summit is scheduled to be held in the national capital over two days — September 9-10 — at the state-of-the-art Bharat Mandapam Convention Centre at Pragati Maidan.
