Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposal to make the African Union a permanent member of the G-20 has received overwhelming response from the grouping, India's G-20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant has said.
In an interview with PTI, the top negotiator noted that India was "very hopeful" of the African continental body finding a permanent position in the G-20 during New Delhi's presidency of the grouping.
Last month, Mr. Modi wrote to the leaders of the world's 20 largest economies pitching for giving the African Union full membership of the grouping at its upcoming summit in New Delhi in September.
