G20 Grants African Union Membership, Highlighting Africa's Importance
TL;DR Summary
The Group of 20 (G20) is set to grant membership to the African Union (AU), according to sources. This move would elevate the AU's status from an "invited international organization" to a permanent member, similar to the European Union. The decision is still being discussed, but it could be finalized by Friday. While there is a possibility of a veto, there have been no objections from G20 members so far. The formalization of AU membership is expected to take place next year when Brazil assumes the G20 presidency.
