G20 Sherpa, Amitabh Kant, also said that India's G20 presidency came when there is a lot of global turbulence. He said, "Amid all these crises, India sees the G20 as an opportunity and as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that India's G20 presidency will be inclusive, decisive, and will be action-oriented."

Union Minister Reddy said, "That's why we want global and domestic investment. We are also encouraging 100 per cent FDI under the leadership of PM Modi, including in Northeastern states and hill states. Every ministry is taking some responsibility for tourism encouragement and developing infrastructure activity to encourage foreign tourists and domestic tourists. And also Government of India is committed to working with all the G20 countries, innovative countries and all international organizations to promote sustainable tourism and sustainable practice."
