CNN-News18 to host 'G20 Town Hall' in New Delhi ahead of G20 Summit

CNN-News18 has announced the ‘G20 Town Hall’, which is slated to take place on September 5 in New Delhi.

CNN-News18 stated that as India prepares to host the New Delhi G20 summit later this month, CNN-News18’s ‘G20 Town Hall’ will serve as a platform to dissect the country’s role as a global leader and assess India's emergence as ‘Vishwamitra’ (Friend of the world), a term which was highlighted by PM Modi recently.

The platform will host leaders and policymakers which include Piyush Goyal (Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs and Food and Public Distribution and Textiles), Meenakshi Lekhi (Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture), Amitabh Kant (G20 Sherpa, Government of India), Harsh Vardhan Shringla (G20 Chief Coordinator) and Ricky Kej (Three-time Grammy winning Indian Music Composer and Environmentalist), among others. The event will also feature panel discussions by diplomats representing economies of all scales, from the largest to the most modest.

Zakka Jacob, Managing Editor, CNN-News18, said, "Our Town Halls have always served as a neutral platform to engage in meaningful discussions that provide viewers with an opportunity to hear directly from political leaders and officials. This time around, we intend to use the platform to highlight India’s promising position on the global map, which was bolstered by the presidency of G20. The G20 Town Hall will empower the audience with a deeper understanding of India's G20 presidency and the nation’s pivotal global moment.”

CNN-News18 stated that the G20 Town Hall will explore India's G20 theme - ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’, and the country’s role in driving the development agenda under the theme.

CNN-News18 further stated that it will also shed light on how the G20 theme underscores the interconnectedness of global challenges and the need for collaborative solutions through discussions on culture, academics and politics.

CNN-News18 Town Hall is an on-ground event that will be streamed live on CNN-News18 TV channel as well as its YouTube channel from 6 p.m. onwards on  September 5, 2023.
