Under India’s G20 presidency, the third Trade and Investment Working Group Meeting is set to commence in Kevadia today. Over 75 international delegates from various G20 countries are expected to participate in the three-day meeting.

The meeting will kick off with a seminar on ‘Trade Infrastructure,’ where delegates will engage in discussions and presentations on the topic. Additionally, a visit to the renowned Statue of Unity is also planned for the participants. Over the next two days, a series of technical sessions will take place, during which G20 members will provide their comments and feedback on the proposals put forward by the Indian presidency.
