Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India]: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, on Friday extended greetings to the foreign delegates coming to India to attend the G20 Summit, and said it is an extremely proud moment for India.

“It is an extremely proud moment for India. Today India, under the leadership of PM Modi, is presiding over the G20. On this occasion, I welcome all the Country heads and the guests with my heart…” said Chouhan.

“…The whole world is one family and this is the theme of G20…Today I am extremely happy and proud while saying that today PM Modi is leading the whole world…” said Chouhan.
