Shillong named among 56 cities to host G20 meeting

Shillong has been named as one of the cities that will host one of the over 200 meetings of the G20 Sherpas as part of the initiative after India assumed Presidency of the G20 for one year from December 1, 2022 to November 30, 2023.

The central government has planned to hold the meetings in 56 locations across the country including Shillong. Other cities scheduled to host the G20 Sherpas include Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Chandigarh, Mahabalipuram and Khajuraho.
