Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the government of India's six G20 priorities, published on 12 March.

The UK Government welcomes India's Presidency of the G20 and the important priorities that it has set out. The Foreign Secretary has made clear his support for putting the needs of developing countries first and giving the G20 a strong voice on the global stage.

India takes on the Presidency at a time when the world is facing multiple challenges. India's scale, diversity and its extraordinary successes mean it is the right country at the right time to hold the G20 Presidency.

Our goals for the G20 are evolving as the Presidency's agenda consolidates, and our officials are working closely with India to develop successful outcomes.
