Recently, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said that the theme of India’s G20 presidency has received widespread support. He was quoted by PTI as saying, “As you are aware the theme of our G20 Presidency in English is — One Earth, One Family One Future. This is based on our civilisational ethos of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ which has received widespread support and permeates many of the initiatives that India has brought onto the G20 agenda,”

Moreover, Prime Minister’s principal secretary P K Mishra while speaking after the second meeting of the Coordination committee of India’s G20 Presidency had said that a total of 185 G20 related meetings, including 13 at the ministerial level, have been concluded covering almost all states and union territories in the country.
