More than 3,500 participants from about 125 countries will attend the Dialogue in person, and the proceedings will be viewed by millions worldwide on various digital platforms.
The conference is being organised by the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs. A number of institutions, organisations, and individuals are committed to its mission and support this effort.
“Every year, leaders in politics, business, media, and civil society converge in New Delhi to discuss the state of the world and explore opportunities for cooperation on a wide range of contemporary matters,” ORF said in a statement.
“The Dialogue is structured as a multi-stakeholder, cross-sectoral discussion, involving heads of state, cabinet ministers and local government officials, who are joined by thought leaders from the private sector, media and academia,” it added.
