India's Multilateral Diplomacy

From G20 to AI Summit

India has increasingly leveraged multilateral hosting to shape global norms. The G20 New Delhi Leaders' Declaration (September 2023) achieved consensus among all members, including China and Russia, on contentious geopolitical issues. The International Solar Alliance (ISA), co-founded by India and France in 2015, now has 120+ member countries. The AI Impact Summit represents a continuation of this diplomatic strategy — using India's convening power to build consensus on emerging global challenges.
