Toward a brighter tomorrow: India's G20 presidency and the dawn of a new multilateralism

TODAY marks 365 days since India assumed the presidency of the Group of 20 (G20). It is a moment to reflect, recommit and rejuvenate the spirit of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam," or "One Earth, One Family, One Future."
