The G20 summit will take place on November 15-16 in Indonesia. Highlighting the contributions of the citizens in the launch of the G-20 logo, the Prime Minister said that the government received thousands of creative ideas for the logo.
He thanked everyone for their support and said that these suggestions are becoming the face of the global event. Noting that the G-20 logo is not just any logo, the Prime Minister said that it is a message, a feeling that runs in India’s veins.
“I congratulate countrymen on the historic occasion of India’s G20 Presidency. ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’ is the signature of India’s compassion for the world. Lotus portrays India’s cultural heritage and faith in bringing the world together,” he said.
