French President Emmanuel Macron, whose country holds one of the U.N. Security Council’s five permanent veto-wielding seats, called for stronger African representation in international institutions including the council, as leaders at the Africa Forward summit renewed demands for reform of the postwar global order.
“Africa must be better represented in international institutions, at the United Nations Security Council, in global financial institutions, as well as in the G20, where we supported its integration,” Macron said during the summit’s opening session on Tuesday in Nairobi.
