New Delhi: With the arrival of world leaders for the G20 summit, the national capital got off to a grand start. In the morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came in person to receive the VVIPs at the Bharat Mandapam at Pragati Maidan.

The summit hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attended by around 40 dignitaries including heads of G20 countries and invited countries and representatives of international organizations. The venue is Bharat Mandapam at Pragati Maidan.

The African Union was given permanent membership in the G20.

Jaishankar arrives and invites Azali from his seat. Following this, the G20 witnessed a historic moment when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who holds the post of G20 President, hugged him.

We are delighted that the #G20 has accepted the @_AfricanUnion as a member of the #G20.
