New Delhi, Nov 14: Issues related to terrorism, climate change and global cooperation to unearth black money are among the issues Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to raise at the G-20 summit here.
The talks are also likely to be dominated by attacks in Paris and war in Syria.
The Summit of leaders from 20 top economies of the world is expected to be attended by US President Barack Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin, British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese President Xi Jinping among others.
Friday night’s ghastly terror attacks in Paris, ongoing war in nearby Syria, the migrant crisis in the region and the need for strengthening the crackdown against terrorism is also expected to take the centre stage.
French President Francois Hollande cancelled his visit for the G20 meeting in the wake of the attack.
Some world leaders including Modi are also likely to voice concern over delay in implementation of the quota reform of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Earlier this week, China has also pitched for IMF quota reforms and said it wants the G20 to reform the voting rights at the multilateral lending agency to give emerging economies a larger role.
Modi, is also likely to hold bilateral meetings with some of the G20 leaders on the margins of the Summit, as also with IMF Chief Christine Lagarde.
On the sidelines of the event, BRICS nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — will meet to review progress of their two recent initiatives – the BRICS bank and the contingent reserve arrangement.
The G20 countries account for 85 per cent of the world economy, 75 per cent of the global trade and two-third of the world’s population.
