African Union’s Historic Bid for G20 Membership Gains Momentum at Indian Summit
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Officials have revealed that the African Union (AU) is on track to become the latest addition to the G20. This announcement came during a summit held in India, where G20 host and Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, voiced strong support for the AU’s bid to become a permanent member. Modi argued that it is essential for developing nations to have a more substantial role in global decision-making.

This proposal has garnered backing not only from Washington but also from the European Union, which made its stance clear. European Council president Charles Michel expressed his anticipation, saying, “I look forward to welcoming the AU as a permanent member of the G20.” This statement was made in New Delhi, where the two-day G20 summit was set to commence.

Currently, the Group of 20 (G20) includes 19 countries and the European Union, representing a significant portion of the global economy and population, accounting for around 85 percent of global GDP and two-thirds of the world’s people. However, South Africa is the sole African representative within the G20.

The African Union, headquartered in Ethiopia and established in 2002 following the disbanding of the Organisation of African Unity, boasts a membership of 55 nations. However, six junta-ruled nations are currently suspended, and collectively, the AU wields a GDP of $3 trillion and is home to approximately 1.4 billion people.

Vinay Kwatra, India’s top foreign service officer, indicated that a decision on the AU’s G20 membership was expected to be reached during the summit.

The United States has shown strong support for the AU’s inclusion in the G20, with President Joe Biden expressing this desire in December 2022. Biden’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, reiterated this position, emphasizing that the African Union’s participation would strengthen the G20.

Now, the question arises: What are your thoughts on this development? Do you believe that Nigeria would benefit from joining this organization? We value your esteemed opinions on this matter.
