What happens.
Model G20 simulates the G20 Leaders’ Summit. Each delegate speaks for a world leader and negotiates global economic cooperation. One Young India organises it. The 2027 summit is on the FLAME University campus in Pune. It is for students who want to go past debate into formal policy advocacy: delegates write academic white papers and give high-level presentations. Delegates work in the Sherpa and Finance tracks, write position papers and finish with a signed communiqué.

Nations at one table
A common world is built at the table. Take your place.
Every nation is free to travel to every other nation, and to trade with it.
Peace is the natural effect of trade. Two nations who traffic with each other become reciprocally dependent.
What is prudence in the conduct of every private family, can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom.
A violation of right in one part of the world is felt all over it.
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls
We have shown that a concourse of 44 nations are actually able to work together at a constructive task in amity and unbroken concord.
This declaration may well become the international Magna Carta of all men everywhere.
This is not a task for any single nation. It is a task for all nations.
