The Indian community in Nigeria has expressed its appreciation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for extending an invitation to President Bola Tinubu to participate in the ongoing G-20 Summit in New Delhi, India.
Mr. Sanjay Srivastava, President of the Afro Asian Community Development (AACD), conveyed this sentiment in a statement. He also commended the efforts of Mr. Pravin Kumar, General Secretary of AACD, for attending the crucial meeting.
Srivastava, who also holds the position of President of the People of Indian Origin Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Nigeria, praised Modi for including the African Union as a permanent member of the G-20.
He considered this a significant step in the right direction, as it would empower Africans to offer lasting solutions to global economic challenges.
In his view, this move would promote inclusivity and establish a fair and impartial global order, a concept highlighted by President Tinubu.
Srivastava stated, “Considering that South Africa is currently the only African member of the group of the world’s 20 most industrialized nations, Nigeria’s inclusion will be highly beneficial. For us, Indians living in Nigeria, this is a welcome development as it will allow Nigerians and all other G-20 nations to share a promising future. This will enable Nigerians to play a vital role in contributing to shaping a more equitable world.”
The invitation to President Tinubu for the G-20 Summit is seen as a positive step towards fostering international cooperation and inclusive global governance.
