Both nations are significant emerging economies, sharing common socio-economic development objectives and challenges. They both uphold democratic principles, maintain secular and pluralistic systems, and possess closely aligned worldviews, as affirmed by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, characterizing the G20 Parliamentary Speakers’ Summit (P20) as a significant gathering of parliamentary practices, emphasized on Friday that legislative bodies serve as vital arenas for debate and deliberation.
Speaking at the Yashobhoomi during the ninth P20 Summit in the national capital, Prime Minister Modi remarked, “This summit is a ‘mahakumbh’ as it represents a convergence of parliamentary practices of the world. India landed on the Moon and hosted the G20 Summit successfully. Today, we are hosting the P20 Summit. This summit is also a platform to celebrate the power of the people of the world’s largest democracy (India).”
“We feel privileged to be hosting the ninth P20 Summit in India. We represent a country, which is the mother of democracy and the world’s largest as well. Parliaments or legislative bodies across the world are important places for holding discussions and debates,” he added.
At a recent press briefing, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced that in addition to the G20 nations, ten other countries and international organizations will join the P20 Summit. To date, over 50 Parliamentarians and 14 Secretary Generals have confirmed their participation, including 26 Presidents, 10 Vice Presidents, one Committee Chairman, and the President of the IPU.
The event saw the participation of distinguished speakers and delegation heads representing a diverse group of nations, including Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Spain, the European Parliament, Italy, South Africa, Russia, Turkey, Nigeria, Australia, Brazil, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Japan, Egypt, and Bangladesh.
