Ahead of the G20 Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday shared a set of dos and don'ts to be observed by ministers during the two-day event to ensure that the visiting dignitaries are not put to any inconvenience.

Prime Minister Modi also requested that they download the G20 India mobile app and make the most of its translation and other capabilities when speaking with foreign leaders. The G20 mobile app has an instant translation feature incorporating all Indian languages and that of G20 nations.
In addition, PM Modi has instructed the Council of Ministers to become acquainted with the cultures of the many foreign representatives they would be hosting. Additionally, they were urged to familiarise themselves with their basic cultural practises, including their food and manner of life.

India will host the 18th meeting of the G20 between September 9 and 10 at the ‘Bharat Mandapam’ in the Pragati Maidan area of New Delhi. The theme will revolve around the ideas of 'One Earth,' 'One Family,' and 'One Future,' which underscore the essence of unity and collective action. The G20 logo draws inspiration from the vibrant colours of India’s national flag – saffron, white and green, and blue.
