Discuss how African Union joining G-20 Significance for India?

-

 The African Union is made up of 55 Member States representing all the countries on the African continent. These Member States are divided into five geographic regions. AU aims to achieve greater unity, cohesion and solidarity among the African countries and African nations.

Gain for India from African Union’s entry in G-20


Solidifies India’s status as a key player in global governance, a nation championing inclusivity and diversity on the international stage;

Backing the AU by India is a natural progression of their partnership, making it more than just symbolic, a strategic one taking into consideration a long history of cooperation between the two from trade and education to healthcare and technology;

Endorsement by India carrying weight within the G20, particularly given its burgeoning economy and geopolitical influence;

Gaining a unique opportunity by India to create a more diverse and representative platform, aligning perfectly with India’s own global aspirations to foster a multipolar world;

Adding momentum to the push for a more inclusive G20, a move reflecting a broader shift in the world order.


As countries in the Global South continue to rise in prominence, it would be imperative for the institutions like G-20 to become more reflective of today’s diverse global landscape & the membership in the G-20 would give African nations a direct say in tackling major global challenges, including economic growth, climate change, and sustainable development, it is opined.


The vast deposits of rare Earth metals like lithium and chromium and other minerals, has attracted the attention of key global players, particularly, China and the U.S. are said to be jostling for influence among African countries to gain access to these lucrative resources.

The African Union’s inclusion to G20 is seen as a big win for India, which has been championing the cause of Global South. India’s support for the African Union’s entry into the G20 is seen as a landmark moment in international diplomacy. It not only strengthens the AU’s bid, but also enhances India’s standing as a global leader advocating for a more equitable and representative international order.

  The development of Information Technology (IT) industries in major cities of India has had a profound impact on the country's socio-economic landscape. Some of the main implications of this development are as follows: Job creation: The development of the IT industry in India has created a large number of well-paying jobs, particularly in cities such as Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.

-
  Environment issues are currently at the centre of a heated debate. Even the Congress President, Sonia Gandhi, felt impelled to write on the issue (The Hindu, Editorial page, Stop the dismantling of environmental rules, August 13, 2020). As a former Environment Minister in the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) dispensation, I feel that environment issues should be above political dissonance, and to this end attempt to highlight critical facts which need to be flagged for public knowledge. To politically weaponise environmental issues is unproductive and unacceptable. How India fares It may be politically convenient — but not presenting the complete picture — to express shock at India being ranked at “177 out of 180 countries” in the Environmental Performance Index Report. Besides, in the June 2020 EPI, India’s rank stands improved at 168, not 177 which is the 2018 rank. The Environmental Performance Index has been developed by two U.S. universities (Yale and Columbia) in collabora...
