🇪🇹🌍 African Union to press for greater representation at UN General Assembly

The African Union is set to use this week’s UN General Assembly meeting in New York to push for a bigger voice at the United Nations, including permanent African representation on the UN Security Council. On 22 September, ahead of the high-level gathering starting Tuesday, AU and UN leaders met to discuss reform of international financial institutions, debt sustainability and ensuring Africa gains greater value from its mineral assets.

Kenyan President William Ruto is also expected to use his visit to advance calls on climate finance, global governance reform, peace and security, and digital cooperation. The UN Development Programme is due to present an Africa-specific package covering AI, resources, data and talent, and access to capital.
