INDIA'S G20 PRESIDENCY A MAJOR MILESTONE India’s G20 presidency is the culmination of a year of milestones. The country has become the fourth to land on the moon, surpassed China as the world’s most populous country and overtaken the UK as the world’s fifth-largest economy. In June, Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a red carpet welcome in Washington, DC. India’s G20 presidency can be regarded as a historic moment, announcing its confirmation as a major global power.
