This is wonderful that this union of African states are now included in an organization of states that are among the global movers and shakers. The long neglected African continent is long over due for that. I hope our union of the EU and North America can find ways to work together to pull up the Global South into the prosperity that we enjoy here.

Modji went for handshake
But Modiji didn't know he was so emotional he needed a big warm hug ❤ 🫂

India Africa brothers long lost, need to come together

[moviesenthil]

I love that Africans for most part are emotional and open hearted. India was a perfect place for them to be announced included in G20 as permanent members.

[purradevendar]

[Proud_Hindu_guy]

India loves Africans ❤ We have gone through the same colonization we know how to get out of that phase and to become independent country and continent ❤ 🇮🇳
