G20 Summit 2017: PM Narendra Modi at the BRICS leaders' meet in Hamburg
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Germany for the G20 summit, an annual forum that sees heads of state and government address issues relating to global economy, international trade and the regulation of financial markets. Prominent members attending this year's summit include US President Donald Trump, UK Prime Minister Theresa May and Chinese President Xi Jinping. On the side-lines of the summit, China in a statement said that there will be no bilateral meeting between PM Modi and Chinese president Xi. The leaders, however, will be in the same room as part of a smaller session of BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The summit this year also witnesses massive protests. Protesters say, G20 has failed to solve many of the issues threatening world peace.
Here are the live updates from the G-20 summit:
