India intends to better take forward the work done by the G20 presidencies in prioritizing the preservation of livelihoods in both developed and developing countries and the integration of MSMEs in global trade.
The G20 delegates will also discuss measures to develop a strong logistics infrastructure that can reduce the cost of transportation between the borders of different countries and in remote areas within the country.

India's G20 chairmanship aims to create a shared understanding of the challenges that arise in accelerating global trade and investment and how existing opportunities can be harnessed to design concrete human-centric solutions and policies.
