India Set To Join Trump-Led G20 Summit In Florida

NEW DELHI – India on March 27 said that it is looking forward to participating in the G20 Summit set to be held in Florida later this year under the US presidency.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal also spoke about India’s participation as an outreach country in the G7 meeting.

When asked whether India protested against the exclusion of South Africa from G7 and America’s  plans to not invite South Africa at the G20 meeting, Jaiswal responded, “India is an outreach country which was invited by the host to participate in the G7 meeting. It is for the host to decide whom they want to know, whom they want to call for those meetings. I guess there are some reports on that, so I would refer you to look at them. As far as G20 is concerned, this time United States is the chair of G20 and we look forward to participating in G20 Summit which will happen later this year involving all G20 countries.”

The US assumed the 2026 Presidency of the G20 in December 2025 and is set to host the G20 Leaders’ Summit in Miami on December 14-15, later this year. (IANS)
