It is done and dusted as India changes the status quo of G20 to G21 under its presidency. African Union is now part of the new G21 group, a brilliant geopolitical move by India. India is hosting the current G20 summit for the first time and being a host if a country can change the status quo of a powerful economic group for the first time, then it is a big achievement. 55 sovereign states are part of the African Union as per Wikipedia. I may be wrong if I am then do correct me.
In recent times India has been dominating global politics and every big economy has been trying its level best to get themselves on their good books. The next news that we all are waiting for from this summit is the G20 crypto regulation framework. This will be followed by all of these nations with some minor changes according to their local requirement.
BTW, The Chinese president was not present in this meeting nor did Zelensky and Putin. I can understand the problem with Putin & Zelensky, what I did not understand was why the Chinese premier thought of canceling his visit. A few days back he was present at the BRICS summit which for me looks kind of awkward. Do you guys think he canceled his visit because of the existing border issue with India or something else?
