The agenda, according to the WEF, simultaneously addresses current crises and long-term concerns while preparing the ground for India's G20 leadership. "I had the pleasure of meeting the Indian ministerial delegation and many of its top business leaders," Schwab said.
"I applaud the nation for taking decisive action in support of renewable energy due to climate change, for its contribution to the global healthcare ecosystem, for putting a strong emphasis on an economic model for women-led development, and for its visionary leadership in support of digital public infrastructure. Despite the global geoeconomic and geopolitical issues, India continues to be a bright point," he added.
India and the World Economic Forum have a 38-year collaboration history, and the WEF looks forward to working with India while it holds the G20 presidency under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
