India hands over G20 presidency to Brazil
India officially handed over the G20 presidency to Brazil at the closing ceremony of the group's annual meeting, held in New Delhi this weekend.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed over power by handing over the presidential credentials to the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula, da Silva.
India has been the chairman of the G20 since December 1, when it took over from Indonesia, and will continue to hold the position until November 30.
During the two-day meeting, the group agreed to a joint statement, which took commitments on many issues, including food and energy, climate change, and debt relief in the world.
Modi, on Sunday, also proposed to assess the status of proposals submitted by the members and determine "how they can be speedily introduced".
"In this session, we can review the issues decided during this meeting," said Modi, adding that a detailed report will be shared with the members.
