How the exam will ask it

- The G20 has no permanent secretariat; the presidency is supported by the troika of past, present and future hosts.

मेन्स
GS2 (International Relations): G20 is the premier forum for global economic coordination, but it works through consensus and informal presidencies rather than a treaty. A US presidency raises the question of how far the agenda and consensus on development and climate issues will hold. India should use the foreign ministers' track to press for Global South priorities and reformed multilateralism.
