From 1-3 March 2023, Aizawl will host the second of four B20 India events scheduled in the Northeast. Business 20 (B20) is the official G20 dialogue forum for the global business community.
As one of the most noticeable Engagement Groups of the G20, B20 represents the G20 business community and mobilises views of global business leaders on global economic and trade governance. The B20 provides tangible policy suggestions to each rotating presidency in order to boost economic growth and development.
During the B20 Summit, the B20 sends its final recommendations to the G20 Presidency.
