The Northeast, particularly Assam, has the key role of representing not only the north-eastern states of India but also the Asia-Pacific region. It plays a crucial role in times of socio-cultural and geographical conflicts, and a successful G20 meeting will boost the state and prove its worth.

Assam will host as many as five G20 meetings. This was decided at a virtual conference between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Chief Ministers and Governors of various states  in connection with India's elevation to the G20 Presidency.

The G20 Delhi Summit is likely to be held between October and November, 2023. As a part of the G20 Summit, more than 200 events/sessions will be held spread across major metro cities of the country.
