India's presidency of the G20 comes at a critical juncture in geopolitical history. Analysts predict that the grouping will play a crucial role in attempting to increase social and economic stability. The world economy is effectively in a slump, and India must develop a strategy to cope with it. It must also position itself as a driving force of peace and unity across the globe.

India could utilise the G20 platform to re-energise the India-UK relationship by renewing and expediting FTA discussions. It could also use this opportunity to bring to light the pressing issue of terrorism which presents a significant security concern for New Delhi. The success of India's chairmanship of this significant global organisation will be mainly determined by how the country negotiates its conflicting national interests.
