G20 summit to begin in Delhi today

Delhi: The G20 summit in India will start from today (Saturday). The arrival of world leaders to participate in the meeting continues as US President Joe Biden has reached New Delhi.

On the sidelines of the meeting, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Indian Prime Minister Narindra Modi will host the investment forum.

Saudi Arabia is also likely to sign an infrastructure deal with the leaders of US, India and United Arab Emirates (UAE), under which the Gulf and Arab countries will be able to connect with India through railways and ports.

Before the meeting in Delhi, the Tibetan community has protested against India and demanded independence. While the Indian Prime Minister is also facing severe criticism for serving food in gold and silver dishes at the dinner of the leaders.

A research professor at a Swedish university said Modi is forgetting that India ranks 107 out of 121 countries on the Global Hunger Index, worse than Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal.
