Consider the following statements about G-20 : 1. The G-20 group was originally established as a platform for the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors to discuss the international economic and financial issues. 2. Digital public infrastructure is one of India's G-20 priorities. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A
1 only
B
2 only
C
Both 1 and 2
Correct answer
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Both statements are correct because the G-20 was established in 1999 for Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors to address global economic stability, and India identified Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) as a key pillar of its 2023 presidency. Options (a) and (b) are incorrect because they are incomplete, failing to recognize either the foundational history of the group or the specific thematic priorities of the New Delhi Summit. The core concept tested is the institutional evolution of the G-20 and India’s strategic leadership in setting the contemporary global agenda.
