    What's the story

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday that digital transformation should not be limited to a few, but rather benefit the whole world.

    He stated that the major emphasis of India's G20 presidency will be on the use of "data for development".

    Modi was addressing the closing ceremony of the G20 summit when Indonesian President Joko Widodo handed over the G20 presidency to India.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    India's Presidency of the G20 will last for a year, between December 1, 2022, and November 30, 2023.

    Notably, India will be hosting more than 200 meetings beginning this December.

    As per the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India is inviting the likes of Singapore, Bangladesh, Egypt, Netherlands, Nigeria, Spain, Oman, Mauritius, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as guest nations.

    Address

    India's G20 presidency will be inclusive, action oriented: Modi

    "India takes charge of G20 when the world is grappling with geopolitical tensions, economic slowdown, rising food and energy prices," said Modi.

    "India's G20 presidency will be inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented. In the next one year, it will be our endeavour that G20 works as a global prime mover to give impetus to collective action," he said.

    Quote

    'Digital solutions can help in fighting climate change'

    "Proper use of digital technologies can become a force multiplier in the decades-long global fight against poverty. Digital solutions can be helpful in the fight against climate change as we saw in examples of remote-working and paperless offices during COVID-19," he said.
