MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The 18th G20 Summit is scheduled to be held on the weekend at the 'Bharat Mandapam' convention center in New Delhi. The South Asian country is holding the presidency in the group, organizing the meeting under a special theme that reflects the interconnectedness of the forum's agenda.
Russia expects the final G20 document to cover in detail the issue of settlements in national currencies, Dmitry Birichevsky, director of the Department of Economic Cooperation at the Russian Foreign Ministry, told Sputnik.

“Our representatives are now working on it [the final document], they are already in New Delhi... This year, we expect detailed coverage of the topic of the global monetary and financial system, the issue of settlements in national currencies," Birichevsky said in an interview with TV BRICS when asked what results Russia expects from the G20 and what it would like to see in the final document.
