India assumed the year-long presidency of the G-20 in December last year and aims to host a leaders’ summit in New Delhi in early September.

“As the current president of the G-20, we are ready to share our strengths and successes with the world— from vaccines and skills to the digital public good as well as what we learn from others,” India’s Ambassador to the U.S., Taranjit Singh Sandhu, said on April 15 while addressing a packed gathering of eminent Indian-Americans at the India House here.
Mr. Sandhu said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Joe Biden believe that democracies will deliver.

Our diaspora has given more wings to our dreams and more winds to our sails. Ultimately, it is the people of both countries that drive the India-U.S. partnership. Your success is our success. The success of the India-U.S. partnership will not only be in the interest of India and the U.S., but also the global good,” he said.
In January, India and the U.S. announced partnerships in the fields of space, defence, semiconductors and next-generation technologies.
