In view of objection raised by some G-20 countries, the venue of G-20 summit is likely to be shifted from Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to New Delhi.

According to reports, the announcement by the Modi government to host the event in disputed Jammu and Kashmir triggered diplomatic tensions as some important G-20 countries including China not supported the idea.

The Hindu quoted officials saying India is expected to host the G-20 summit in Delhi, while a number of states have been asked to suggest venues for about 100 “preparatory” meetings expected to be held between December 2022 and November 2023 during India’s G-20 presidency.
