Brazil's G20 Agenda Mirrors India's 2024 Priorities: Foreign Secretary Misri
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri underscored the strong alignment between Brazil’s G20 presidency agenda and India’s priorities from 2024. Brazil’s focus on social inclusion, energy transition, and global governance reform echoes India’s initiatives from its presidency.
For the first time, the African Union (AU) will participate as a full G20 member. This significant step follows its induction during India’s presidency, symbolizing a broader representation in global governance.
Brazil’s G20 theme, Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet, emphasizes three key priorities:
1. Social Inclusion and Fight Against Hunger
2. Energy Transition and Sustainable Development
3. Global Governance Reforms
A flagship initiative, the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, will be launched, inviting participation from countries, international organizations, and civil society.
India will actively contribute to two pillars of the alliance: the national pillar and the knowledge pillar, reaffirming its commitment to tackling global challenges.
The G20 will revisit targets set in New Delhi, including tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030. Brazil continues India’s legacy by pushing for ambitious environmental and energy goals.
Brazil convened the first-ever Empowerment of Women Working Group, initiated during India’s presidency, cementing the importance of women-led development in G20 discussions.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tour will cover Brazil for the G20 Summit, followed by visits to Nigeria and Guyana, marking a significant diplomatic engagement.
The Rio Summit will conclude with President Lula da Silva passing the G20 presidency to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, marking the fourth consecutive presidency held by emerging markets.
