Several prominent world leaders are set to visit Delhi as the Group of 20 nations convenes on September 9 and 10 this year. The key meeting of the heads of the nations is being hosted by India under its G20 presidency. US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will be among the top leaders attending the G20 Summit.

India is hosting the G20 summit for the first time since the grouping began summit-level meets following the global financial crisis of 2008. Over 25 world leaders are expected to take part in the summit. Out of the 20 member nations, 17 will be represented at the leaders' level. Meanwhile, Russia and Mexico will be represented by their ministers.
