India’s G20 presidency provided it with a platform to showcase a whole spectrum of Indian culture and India as a premium destination for tourism.
It was the first time G20 events were hosted in each and every state and union territory of India, providing each of them with the opportunity to showcase the best of their culture.
During its G20 presidency, India successfully highlighted its diverse cultural heritage, including performing arts, visual arts, heritage sites, and culinary traditions, serving as a testament to the country’s cultural richness and promoting cross-cultural understanding among member nations.
India’s G20 presidency did not only project its cultural soft power but also its economic potential in the cultural and tourism sectors, making it a source of national pride.
A series of classical, folk, and tribal dances and music showcasing India’s multicultural and pluralistic society were performed at G20 events from Kashmir to Andaman and Nicobar and from Rann of Kutchh to Kohima during the past ten months.
The captivating performances underscored the nation’s vibrant artistic legacy, with each dance and music form exuding its own unique flavour and narrative.
Moreover, the G20 University Connect initiative was undertaken with the aim of building an understanding of India’s G20 Presidency among India’s youth and enhancing their participation in the different G20 events.
The Prime Minister also released other publications on the occasion namely The Grand Success of G20 Bharat Presidency: Visionary Leadership, Inclusive Approach; India’s G20 Presidency: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam; and Compendium of G20 University Connect Programme.
