The event will also feature prominent global heads of political organizations and renowned sectoral experts. Marking the 140th anniversary of the Indian National Congress and the 70th year since the historic Bandung Conference, which laid the groundwork for the Non-Aligned Movement, the Bharat Summit holds profound historical and symbolic significance.

This landmark event will see participants split into various groups to explore topics like gender justice, climate action, and economic equity, all aimed at promoting global good and ensuring politics drives development rather than division.

The Bharat Summit aims to foster meaningful dialogue on global justice, equity, and progressive cooperation.
