President Biden next week will call for the African Union to get a permanent seat as part of the Group of 20 (G-20), which would give African nations a seat at the table on key economic matters and diversify the organization of major economies.
Biden will make the announcement during the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, which is taking place in Washington, D.C., next Tuesday through Thursday, national security council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Friday.
“We need more African voices in international conversations,” Kirby said, saying the inclusion of the African Union would allow the continent to be better represented on matters of the economy, climate, health policy and national security.
The G-20 is made up of the world’s largest economies, and South Africa is the only member nation from Africa. The African Union consists of 55 member states.

They can conduct trade in coconuts and shells.
Uh... Africa isn’t a nation, Brandon.
Besides, by the time they quit expanding, I’m going to be inclined to yell “BINGO!” every time someone brings it up.
They necklace each other just for the catering. What a stupid thing to say.
Reward exemplary nations with solid regimes with a seat at the table. You don't bring war-lords and murderous thugs to the Union League Ball.
Pudding mouth must be getting his cut.
No the Africans want their cut ,LOL
Maybe Brandon thinks he’s president of our continent?
He must have let a big one go. Unfortunately it came from both ends.
I wonder how he feels about Vanguard leaving the Al Gore/Horse Face’s climate shake down group?
It’s a collective hellhole.
Many African nations aren’t really nations, but tribal dumps.
I’m with Vanguard - that was one wonderful choice...
Does that mean Africa is rich enough to get off the dole and sed Sally Struthers back?
Things that make you want to say “I’m going to take a shower. Anyone seen my beeber?”
The African Union (AU) is a continental union consisting of 55 member states located on the continent of Africa. The AU was announced in the Sirte Declaration in Sirte, Libya, on 9 September 1999, calling for the establishment of the African Union.
Just a buncha colonies run by that White Guy, Karl Marx.
The African Union (or rather some of it’s members) have a lot of oil. That’s what this is about.
Pretty soon, every country will be part of G-20 and it will become meaningless. Like the Olympic games.
African Union is the “Cousin Oliver” of the G-21.
The African Union can take russia’s place when they get kicked or are they going to change it to the G21?
This has Obama’s smelly ass fingers all over it. Just like when he ordered NASA to focus on Muslim inclusion instead of exploring the cosmos. But of course, African Cannibals and Pygmies deserve a seat in Noah’s Ark.
Africa has some of the largest mineral deposits in the world including oil, gold, iron, copper and the highly sought after rare earth metals. The G-20 wants them minerals!!!
