BENEFIT OF INDIAN PRESIDENCY
India while holding the G20 presidency will keep pushing the agendas that matter to the developing countries. Reforming international institutions, health, education, gender, climate and environment are issues that need attention.
Since India’s foreign policy has always highlighted its neighbourhood first policy, it will make the most of the G20 presidency to push forward agendas while keeping the larger interest of the region in mind.
India’s growing startup ecosystem benefits Bhutan as it will provide more opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to learn from experienced business people through the Bhutan-India Startup Summit.
