U.S. President Joe Biden called last year for the AU's permanent membership in the G-20, saying it's been 'a long time in coming.'
NAIROBI, Kenya — The group of the world’s 20 leading economies is welcoming the African Union as a permanent member, a powerful acknowledgement of Africa as its more than 50 countries seek a more important role on the global stage.
Here’s a look at the AU and what its membership represents in a world where Africa is central to discussions about climate change, food security, migration and other issues. Russia is its leading arms provider. Gulf nations have become some of the continent’s biggest investors. Turkey ‘s largest overseas military base and embassy are in Somalia. Israel and Iran are increasing their outreach in search of partners.
The African continent has 60% of the world’s renewable energy assets and more than 30% of the minerals key to renewable and low-carbon technologies. Congo alone has almost half of the world’s cobalt, a metal essential for lithium-ion batteries, according to a United Nations report on Africa’s economic development released last month.
