Summary/Abstract: India’s G20 presidency in 2023 is a priority for Narendra Modi’s government and an opportunity for the country to promote itself internationally. The presidency will present India as a major global power and representative of the countries of the Global South, as well as an economically strong place to invest and as a tourist destination. It will also press for changes in the international order. The main challenges for the G20 will be the internal divisions related to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and the slowdown in the global economy. Western countries in the G20 should diversify their approach and support India in developing solutions to global challenges, but prevent the normalisation of relations with Russia within this format.
