India is hosting the G20 Summit for the first-time ever. In line with India's G20 Presidency theme 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – One Earth, One Family, One Future’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his inaugural address, "India's G20 Presidency has become a symbol of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas' (together with all, development for all, trust of all, efforts of all) inside and outside of the country. This has become the people's G20 in India and over 200 meetings were held across the country."
Earlier, there were media reports that India’s business leaders such as Reliance Industries Limited Chairman Mukesh Ambani and Adani Group’s Gautam Adani among others have been invited to the G20 Leaders’ Summit dinner.
