Thus, on paper, the <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/au\/\">#AU<\/a> will enjoy the same right and privilege on par with the EU at the G20 round table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subject has been openly discussed for months now and most other superpowers did not have any objection. US President Biden openly supported it; Chinese Xi Jinping welcomed it; India pushed it and the EU endorsed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AU Chair cum Comoros President Azali Assoumani hugged Indian PM Narendra Modi as he walked to take his seat at the <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/g20\/\">#G20<\/a> roundtable.

Most people are familiar with the statistics which make Africa such a compelling choice; the sustained economic growth, the demographic dividend, the availability of arable land, the huge reserves of <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/criticalminerals\/\">#CriticalMinerals<\/a>, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>India presented itself as the one which &#8216;amplified the voice&#8217; of the <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/globalsouth\/\">#GlobalSouth<\/a> and aspires to be the guru of the developing countries. However, Russia and China, two major members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/globalsouth\/\">#GlobalSouth<\/a> were markedly absent from the Summit and sent lower-level representatives as stopgaps. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"9d846d\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #9d846d;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Modi-Assoumani-02w-jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-5799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Modi-Assoumani-02w-jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/gbc1.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Modi-Assoumani-02w-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>PM Modi has been walking a tightrope between the <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/globalnorth\/\">#GlobalNorth<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gbc1.net\/index.php\/tag\/globalsouth\/\">#GlobalSouth<\/a>.
