New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that taking over the presidency of the &ldquo;powerful&rdquo; G20 group of nations from next month will give an opportunity to every citizen of India to celebrate and showcase the country&rsquo;s soft power and diverse culture to the world.
Modi also highlighted India&rsquo;s capability to provide solutions to the various challenges faced by the world, specially those related to peace, unity, environment and&nbsp;sustainable development.
In his monthly radio address, Mann ki Baat, the PM said the country must utilise the opportunity by focusing on global good. &ldquo;...the presidency of G20 has arrived as a big opportunity for us. We have to make full use of this opportunity and focus on global good, world welfare. Whether it is peace or unity,&nbsp;sensitivity towards the environment, or sustainable development, India has solutions to challenges,&rdquo; he said.
Modi elaborated on how the G20 has a partnership comprising two-thirds of the world&rsquo;s population, three-fourths of world trade, and 85% of world GDP. India is going to preside over this group from December 1.
India will host several programmes related to G20 in different parts of the country in the coming days. Stating that during this period, people from different parts of the world will visit different states, Modi said, &ldquo;You also have to remember that even if they come now as delegates, they are tourists of the future.&rdquo;
The PM also highlighted India&rsquo;s soft power. While lauding Indian classical music and the craze for it abroad, Modi said exports of Indian classical instruments have risen and their biggest buyers include developed countries &ldquo;This shows that the craze for Indian culture and music is increasing all over the world,&rdquo; he said.
