G20: Mizoram's capital Aizawl to host the second B20 event from 1-3 March 2023

The Business 20 (B20) serves as the G20's official dialogue forum for the worldwide business community.

As one of the most noticeable Engagement Groups of the G20, B20 represents the G20 business community and mobilises views of global business leaders on global economic and trade governance. The B20 provides tangible policy suggestions to each rotating presidency in order to boost economic growth and development.

During the B20 Summit, the B20 sends its final recommendations to the G20 Presidency.

The B20 event at Aizawl, slated for 1-3 March, will highlight the opportunities for multilateral business partnerships that the state can offer to delegates in urban planning, infrastructure, bamboo, startups, skill development, nursing, and paramedics.

This three-day event is expected to see around 500 participants ranging from Ministers, senior Government officials, diplomats and representatives from the business community.

The state government has made extensive preparations for the three-day event.

The event will begin with a cultural evening and a welcome dinner at Raj Bhavan on the day of the arrival of delegates.

On the second day will see the B20 conference at Mizoram State University followed by a cultural programme.

Chapchar Kut, which is a spring festival of Mizoram, will be showcased to the delegates at AR Ground on day three, to conclude the B20 conference in Aizawl.

The four B20 events slated for the northeast are intended to highlight the untapped potential and opportunities of the northeast states.
