India at the G7 and G20
India at the G7 and G20 follows India in two clubs: the G20, a forum India belongs to and whose 2023 summit it hosted in New Delhi, and the G7, a Western group of seven that invites India only as a guest. It is in the news because the US presidency's G20 Trade Ministers' Meeting in Milwaukee, where Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal led India, agreed by consensus on a statement against weaponising food through coercive trade actions.
