2 minutes read

In a recent podcast, Dr. Qamar Cheema discussed the significance of a major event G20 Summit taking place in India, which has garnered global attention in the realm of foreign policy.

Key Points:

  • India is hosting a significant international event that has attracted leaders and delegations from around the world, except for China’s leadership. This underscores India’s growing influence on the global stage.
  • India is making efforts to showcase its rich cultural heritage and recent developments to the world by hosting musicians from 20 countries and displaying underground cultural exhibits.
  • China’s decision not to attend the summit is seen by some as an attempt to snub India, potentially signaling strategic choices made by China in the global arena.

He pointed out that the entire world seems to be converging on India for this event, with the notable exception of the Chinese leadership.

This event holds great importance for India, and it’s been months in the making. India has dedicated significant effort to transforming its capital city, showcasing its art, culture, heritage, and recent developments. Dr. Cheema emphasized that India is eager to display its capabilities on the world stage, just as any other nation would if they were in a similar position. Due to the high-security concerns surrounding this event, extensive measures have been implemented.

India has also undertaken various creative initiatives, such as displaying underground art and cultural exhibits under railway lines to showcase its rich heritage. Dr. Cheema discussed what India hopes to achieve from hosting the G20 summit. It is a matter of prestige for India, as it demonstrates that global leadership is willing to visit the country, potentially opening up new opportunities and strengthening its position in the emerging global order. As India holds the G20 presidency for a year, it is keen to present a strong image to the world. The event has attracted leaders and delegations from around the globe, drawing significant international media coverage.

Dr. Cheema also speculated that China’s absence may be an attempt to snub India and Prime Minister Modi, showcasing China’s strategic choices. He noted that India is not typically prepared for such large-scale international events due to cultural differences. For instance, India has had to cancel 90 train services on September 9th and 100 passenger train services on September 10th, causing significant disruptions. The closure of Delhi for four days further emphasizes the magnitude of preparations needed.

Despite these challenges, India has made extensive efforts to host a diverse cultural program, inviting musicians from 20 countries to represent its rich heritage. Furthermore, India aims to justify China’s absence and seeks a Delhi Declaration that will be well-received on the world stage. The impact of this summit on India’s economy and national psyche is expected to be substantial.
