What is G21? Why has PM Modi been pushing for it?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been pushing for the African Union – a continental body comprising 55 member states – to join the G20. It would thus be in the interest of developed economies for Africa to emerge economically stronger.” A source told Reuters Modi’s proposal to grant the African Union full membership in the G20 demonstrates India’s commitment to strengthening Africa’s representation and partnership in shaping global affairs. The G20 this year also invited nine non-member “guest” countries, including Bangladesh, Singapore, Spain and Nigeria, besides international organisations such as the United Nations, World Health Organization, the World Bank and the IMF. “ prime minister is a strong believer in having a greater Voice of the Global South countries on international platforms, particularly of African countries.” The Wire quoted AU chief and Senegal president Macky Sall as writing that the African Union’s absence could harm the G20. “And today I’m also calling for the African Union to join the G20 as a permanent member of the G20….it’s been a long time in coming, but it’s going to come,” Biden said, That same month, Japan also advocated the idea after its Prime Minister Fumio Kishida met Senegal’s president.
