The G20 Leaders’ Summit is set to conclude in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Sunday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi participating in the third and final session, themed “A Fair and Just Future for All – Critical Minerals, Decent Work, and Artificial Intelligence.”

Mr. Modi arrived in Johannesburg on Friday for a three-day visit to attend the G20 Summit, which is being hosted on African soil for the first time. Ahead of Sunday’s session, the Prime Minister will take part in the India-Brazil-South Africa (IBSA) Leaders’ Meeting. IBSA is a unique trilateral platform that brings together three major democracies and emerging economies from Asia, South America, and Africa. The three nations share common developmental priorities and are known for their pluralistic and diverse societies.

On the sidelines of the Summit, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to hold bilateral meetings with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Taka, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The Prime Minister will depart for New Delhi later in the evening.
