SHILLONG, Dec 28: Shillong has been named as one of the cities that will host one of the over 200 meetings of the G20 Sherpas as part of the initiative after India assumed Presidency of the G20 for one year from December 1, 2022 to November 30, 2023.
The central government has planned to hold the meetings in 56 locations across the country including Shillong. Other cities scheduled to host the G20 Sherpas include Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Chandigarh, Mahabalipuram and Khajuraho.
The Union government wants these meetings to take place in less explored places of the country.
As part of the proposed G20 meeting, the India Tourism Shillong in association with the Airports Authority of India recently organised a sensitisation programme for frontline employees and local cabbies.
In addition, around 1,000 tourist guides, including 146 who can speak foreign languages, would fan out across the 56 locations where G20 meetings would be held over the next one year to facilitate the travel of foreign delegates and to ensure a unique Indian experience for them.
