The Winter Session of Parliament started on December 7 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India receiving the G20 Presidency is a huge opportunity. Addressing media persons before the start of the first day of the Winter Session of Parliament, PM Modi said, "It's the first day of Winter Session. This session is important because we met before 15th August. 75 years of Independence completed on 15th August and we are going ahead in Azadi ka Amrit Kaal. We are meeting at a time when India has received the opportunity to preside over the G20." PM Modi further focused on having a session where 'important decisions will be made.'

"The manner in which India has made a space in the global community, the manner in which expectations with India have risen and the manner in which India is increasing its participation on global platforms, at a time like this, India receiving the G20 Presidency is a huge opportunity," PM Modi said.
