Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday announced the inclusion of the African Union to the G-20 as a permanent member during the first session of the G-20 leaders’ summit in New Delhi.
"India's G-20 presidency has become a symbol of inclusion, of 'sabka saath' both inside and outside the country. This has become people's G-20 in India. Crores of Indians are connected to this. In more than 60 cities of the country, more than 200 meetings have taken place. With the sense of 'Sabka Saath', India had proposed that the African Union be granted permanent membership of G-20. I believe that all of us agree to this proposal," Modi said.

After Modi’s remarks, Chairperson of the African Union Azali Assoumani took a seat among other G-20 permanent members.

In June, Modi wrote a letter to G-20 leaders proposing that the African Union be given full membership of the group.

India has been chairing the G20 since December 1, 2022. The top-level summit in New Delhi from Saturday to Sunday gathered the 20 member states as well as nine other states, including Bangladesh, Egypt, Spain, Maurituis, Nigeria, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Singapore. Russia is represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and China by Premier Li Qiang.
