French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday expressed confidence in India taking over the presidency of the powerful G20, saying he has trust that his "friend" Prime Minister Narendra Modi would bring everyone together to build a peaceful and a sustainable world.

Macron is another prominent world leader to back India's G20 presidency after US President Joe Biden on Friday described India as a strong partner of the US and said that he was looking forward to supporting his "friend" Prime Minister Modi during India's G20 presidency.
