Narendra Modi will travel to Johannesburg, South Africa, from November 21 to 23 to participate in the G20 Leaders’ Summit. The visit puts India in a significant diplomatic role as it shares perspectives and priorities on the global stage.

During the summit, Modi is expected to address all three main sessions, covering topics like inclusive economic growth, climate resilience, and a fair future shaped by technology and equitable resource access. His participation underscores India’s commitment to representing growing economies and their concerns.

In addition to plenary engagements, Modi will hold multiple bilateral meetings and join the India–Brazil–South Africa (IBSA) Dialogue on the sidelines of the summit. The agenda will focus on development, sustainable transitions, trade, and strengthening partnerships in the Global South.

With India’s recent binary role of being a global voice and an emerging power, this summit provides a strategic platform. The discussions and outcomes will likely influence India’s international partnerships and its own domestic goals in areas such as clean energy, trade diversification, and up-skilling for the future workforce.
