The G20 Summit 2023 took place at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi's Pragati Maidan on 9 and 10 September.
During the second session of the first day of G20 Summit, the Delhi Declaration was adopted, which called on nations to uphold international law, including territorial integrity, international humanitarian law and the multilateral system that safeguards peace and stability.
The declaration was unanimously with a 100 per cent consensus along with China and Russia in agreement. Also, it was for the first time, the declaration contained no footnote or Chair's Summary.

In their over 50-minute talks, Modi and Biden vowed to "deepen and diversify" the bilateral major defence partnership while welcoming forward movement in India's procurement of 31 drones and joint development of jet engines.
Biden also participated in key sessions of the G20 Summit on Saturday.
Biden to miss 9/11 anniversary?
Biden will be in Hanoi, Vietnam on 10 September where he will meet with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and other key leaders to discuss ways to further deepen cooperation between the US and Vietnam.
The US President is, however, expected to miss the annual ceremony in New York City marking the anniversary of 11 September terror attacks.
Biden will attend a commemoration of 9/11 with military families in Anchorage, Alaska, as he returns from a previously planned state visit to Vietnam on Sunday, meaning he won’t attend the solemn event in lower Manhattan for the second straight year.
