Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has proposed to make the African Union a full member of the Group of 20, while also pitching his country as the solution to supply chain woes in advance of the bloc’s summit in New Delhi next month.
Modi says they have a vision of inclusiveness and with that vision, we have invited the African Union to become permanent members of the G20.
US President Joe Biden earlier said he wanted the AU to join the G20 as a permanent member adding that it had “been a long time in coming, but it’s going to come.
New Delhi also called for including the pan-African bloc, which collectively had a $3 trillion GDP last year.
