Digital Desk: The following G20 summit, which will feature a significant number of the world's largest economies, will be held in Jammu and Kashmir in 2023. In light of this, the Jammu and Kashmir government on Thursday established a five-person high level committee for general coordination.
After
the former state was split into two union territories in 2019, it would be the
first significant international conference to be hosted in Jammu and Kashmir.
In
September of last year, Piyush Goyal, the Union Minister of Commerce and
Industry, was chosen to represent India at the G20 conference.
India will begin holding the G20 presidency on
December 1, 2022, and will host the first G-20 summit in 2023, according to the
external affairs ministry.
The
union territory's principal secretary of housing and urban development will
preside over the committee established to oversee the preparations, per an
order issued on Thursday.
"Sanction is now accorded to the creation of a committee...for overall co-ordination of G20 meetings to be held in the Union Territory of J&K," said the order made by Manoj Kumar Dwivedi, principal secretary of the general administration department.
The
administrative secretary of culture, the commissioner secretary of
transportation, the administrative secretary of tourism, and the administrative
secretaries of hospitality and protocol are the other members of the committee.
"Further,
Principal Secretary to the Government, Housing and Urban Development Department
is also nominated as UT level nodal official to oversee the arrangements for
G20 meetings in the Union Territory of J&K," the order continued.
It
should be mentioned that since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has led
India's delegation to the G20 summit. Since the G20's founding in 1999, India
has been a participant.
The
MEA states that from December 1, 2021, through November 30, 2024, India will be
a member of the G20 Troika, which consists of the outgoing, current, and
incoming G20 Presidency.
