G20 summit offers opportunity to showcase India's heritage, tourism potential, says Harsh Vardhan Shringla

The upcoming G20 Summit set to be held in New Delhi serves a dual purpose. Not only will it facilitate the establishment of a consensus on global issues, but it will also provide India with a unique opportunity to exhibit its rich cultural heritage and diverse traditions. The summit is poised to feature a range of cultural events and offer retreats for the spouses of G20 leaders. Harsh Vardhan Shringla, the chief coordinator of the G20, highlighted in an interview with CNBC-TV18 that the event represents a significant platform for India to showcase its heritage, diversity, and its potential as a tourist destination.

Shringla emphasised that preparations for this summit began well in advance and will align with Prime Minister Modi's vision of making it a truly Indian summit.

Scheduled for September 9-10, 2023, the 18th Heads of State and Government Summit of the G20 in Delhi is expected to draw approximately 10,000 visitors to India.
