MODI TO ATTEND G20 MEETING IN INDONESIA FROM NOVEMBER 14 TO 16

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the Indonesian resort of Bali during November 14-16 to attend the G20 summit and to hold bilateral meetings with some of his counterparts on the margins, the external affairs ministry said on Thursday.

US President Joe Biden, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are among the leaders expected to attend the summit. Russia announced on Thursday that President Vladimir Putin would not attend, reflecting the global tensions over the Ukraine conflict.

“During the Bali summit, G20 leaders will deliberate on key issues of global concern. Three working sessions will be held as part of the G20 Summit agenda (on) food and energy security, health and digital transformation,” external affairs ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. .
