"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.
