As proud Indians, we hold our heads high today. Thank you Modi ji…thanks everyone who made us feel on top of the world. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat," he posted.

Many congratulations to the Government of India and, especially, to you for the successful organization of #G20BharatSummit . You have made 140 crore Indians proud! With simplicity, determination and humility, you showed everyone how India has the potential to lead the world. The two-day event was conducted with dignity, grace and precision!

Announcing the closing of the G20 summit on Sunday, PM Modi proposed a virtual session of the bloc in November to review the suggestions and proposals made at the premier forum for international economic cooperation.
“As you all know, India has the responsibility of G20 presidency till November 2023. In these two days, all of you gave a lot of suggestions and mooted proposals. It is our duty to see how progress could be achieved on these suggestions,” PM Modi said.
"I propose that at the end of November, we hold a virtual session of the G20. We can review the topics decided in this summit in that virtual session. I hope you will connect with us during the virtual session. With this, I declare the conclusion of the G20 summit," he added.
Before declaring that the summit closed, PM Modi handed over the ceremonial gavel of the G20 presidency to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
"I congratulate Brazilian President and my friend Lula da Silva and hand over the gavel of (G20) Presidency," PM Modi said.
While Indonesia held the G20 presidency last year, Brazil will assume the mantle after India.   
India took over the G20 presidency on December 1 last year at the summit in Bali and will continue to hold it till the end of November.   
The New Delhi Declaration was adopted by G20 leaders on Saturday, the first day of the summit.
Notably, throughout India’s presidency, raising the voice of Global South and the developing nations was at the forefront of New Delhi’s agenda.
India’s theme for the G20 Presidency was ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, which translates to ‘One Earth One Family One Future’.
PM Modi stated that India's G20 Presidency has become a symbol of inclusion both inside and outside the country, adding that it became “People’s G20” and crores of Indians were connected with it.
A major and historic takeaway of India’s presidency of the G20 Summit was the inclusion of the African Union as a permanent member of the grouping.
