Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the 9th P20 Summit today at the illustrious Yashobhoomi venue. Under the banner of "Parliaments for One Earth, One Family, One Future," the theme of this year's summit resonates with the ethos of the recently concluded G20 Summit in Delhi.
Representing an array of nations, the P20 Summit will be graced by the distinguished presence of parliamentary speakers from the G20 member countries and invitees. A notable milestone in the summit's history is the participation of the Pan-African Parliament, marking their inaugural attendance following the African Union's recent induction into the G20 fold during the New Delhi G20 leaders' summit held on September 9 and 10.
Four Focused Thematic Sessions: The P20 Summit is set to delve into a series of thematic sessions that will tackle pivotal global issues. The sessions will focus on the following four subjects:
Transformation in People's Lives through Public Digital Platforms.
Women-led Development Initiatives.
Accelerating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Paving the Way for Sustainable Energy Transition.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla played a significant role in the preparations and greeted parliamentary delegates from G20 member nations and special invitee countries who convened in Delhi in anticipation of this momentous event.
Notable Dignitaries in Attendance: Prominent speakers from various corners of the globe have congregated for the summit. Among those who gathered with Speaker Om Birla were Milton Dick, Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives; Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad of Bangladesh; Saqr Ghobash, Speaker of the Federal National Council in the UAE; and Ashebir Woldegiorgis Gayo, Acting President of the Pan-African Parliament.
The 9th P20 Summit is set to be a crucible for exchanging ideas, sharing insights, and forging collaborative paths toward a more harmonious and sustainable world. As parliamentary leaders converge on the Yashobhoomi stage, the global community eagerly awaits the results and initiatives that will emerge from this distinguished gathering.
