President Hakainde Hichilema has asked the United Nations Security Council for Africa to be granted a permanent seat in the Council as well as at the G20.
The United Nations Security Council has only five permanent members consisting of China, United Kingdom (UK), Russia, United States of America (USA) and France.
According to Stanley Kakubo, Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister, President Hichilema called on world leaders at the U.S-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington DC, that Africa should be accorded an opportunity to have a permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council.
Kakubo on his Facebook page said the President emphasised on the urgent need for the 1.4 billion Africans to be fully represented where decisions that affect them are made.
President Hichilema was speaking at the U.S-Africa Leaders Summit that was hosted by U.S President Joe Biden.
