In an eagerly awaited development, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has officially confirmed that the P20 (G20 Parliamentary Speakers Summit) is set to convene in New Delhi. The much-anticipated summit is scheduled for a grand inauguration on October 13, with the Prime Minister gracing the occasion.
A Distinguished Gathering:
The P20 Summit is expected to witness the participation of a distinguished assembly, comprising 50 Members of Parliament and 14 General Secretaries. This eminent group includes 26 Speakers, 10 Deputy Speakers, one Committee Chairman, and the President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU). Notably, the event will also mark a historic moment as it welcomes the President of the Pan African Parliament, who will be attending the P20 gathering in India for the very first time.
A G20 Presidency Dedication:
India’s commitment to its G20 presidency is underscored by its dedication to the people. The P20 Summit is a significant part of this dedication, providing a platform for parliamentary leaders to come together and deliberate on issues of global significance.
Exploring Transformative Possibilities:
The P20 Summit promises to be an intellectually enriching event, featuring four high-level sessions, each offering profound insights into the pressing challenges of our times. Among these sessions, a notable highlight is the conference on “Transforming People’s Lives through Public Digital Platforms.” This session aims to foster a comprehensive dialogue on how parliamentary bodies can effectively advance the shared objectives of the P20 gathering.
