President Biden officially requested the change last December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need more African voices in international conversations,\u201d National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said last year, saying the inclusion of the African Union would allow the continent to be better represented on matters of the economy, climate, health policy and national security.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa was previously the continent\u2019s only representation at the summit. The African Union includes membership of every country on the continent and is represented at the G-20 by its chairman, Comoros President Azali Assoumani.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening remarks, Modi also addressed the earthquake which shook Morocco Friday night, killing at least 800 people.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged \u201cconcrete solutions\u201d to global problems that stem from \u201cups and downs in the global economy, the north and the south divide, the chasm between the east and the west,\u201d and other issues like terrorism, cybersecurity, health and water security, he said.<\/p>\n<p>A draft version of the summit\u2019s closing remarks do not include mention of Ukraine, The Associated Press reported, a key omission which has been at the center of G-20 negotiations in recent days.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The leaders of China and Russia chose not to attend the event, likely to avoid face-to-face conversations with Ukraine\u2019s western allies and for other disputes.

India\u2019s G-20 negotiator Amitabh Kant told The AP that climate funding and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> for developing states is a priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur view was that Global South, developing countries, emerging markets must be able to get long-term financing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
