PM Modi had recently said India backs the African Union's inclusion and that no plan for the future of the planet can be successful without the representation and recognition of all voices.
China on Thursday expressed its support for the inclusion of the African Union (AU) in the G20, saying it is the "first country to explicitly support" the inclusion of the African bloc in the grouping.
In a recent interview with PTI, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India backs the inclusion of the African Union as a full member of the Group of 20 largest economies as no plan for the future of the planet can be successful without the representation and recognition of all voices.
"China is the first country to explicitly voice support for the AU's accession to G20," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a media briefing here while replying to a question about reports that AU will be admitted to G20 at the New Delhi summit to be held on September 9-10.
