On Saturday, during the first day of the G20 summit in New Delhi, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the admission of the African Union as a full member of the group.. African leaders welcomed the move, saying it would give the continent a "voice".
The admission of the African Union to the
G20 could also benefit some of the BRICS countries, such as
Russia, India and China,
Binod Singh, the director of the BRICS Institute in New Delhi, told
Sputnik.
According to the academic, these three countries are expected to have opportunities for strong economic development in Africa in the coming years.
"China is helping them [African countries] with infrastructure, India is helping them with education, Russia is helping them with engineering. Russia, China and India are important for them. Today, Africa is making great progress. China, India and Russia will grow a little slower. Africa's growth will be between 6 and 7% a year, which opens up great opportunities for us," the Indian expert explained.
Today, African countries face problems that China, India and Russia faced 20 years ago, Singh added. As members of BRICS and the Group of 20, these three countries can share their expertise with Africa and boost their own economies.
According to the director of the BRICS Institute, the time has come for Africa and Asia to say "goodbye" to one of the parties in world politics. "You know whom I mean," Singh added.
The
African Union's membership in the G20 was announced on September 9 at the Group of 20 summit in New Delhi, India.
Last June, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi approached G20 leaders with a proposal to admit the African Union to the group. This request was reiterated on several occasions, including at the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, in late August.
Within the group, the African Union would have the same status as the European Union. According to Narendra Modi, such an expansion of the group will strengthen the voice of the global South.
