India has set several goals and objectives for its G20 presidency. The key focus areas include digital transformation, climate financing, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and food security among others.

Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi is unlikely to attend a meeting of G-20 foreign ministers in India from Wednesday, instead prioritizing parliamentary business, according to a government official.

"We have a wide, broad, deep relationship with India. There will be a lot on the agenda in the bilateral relationship and in the multilateral engagements he takes part in on the margins of the G20," Ned Price, State Department Spokesperson said.
