Indian prime minister Narendra Modi is pushing for the African Union to be made a permanent member of the Group of 20 (G20) ahead of the summit in Delhi later this year, as the country moves to position itself as a leader of the developing world.
Mr Modi has reportedly written to all members of the G20, which consists of the world’s 19 biggest economies as well as the European Union, to give the 55-member African Union full and permanent membership.
