Equity and diversity are critical for fair and sustained global development.
Africa is underrepresented in the global financial architecture, just as it lacks a permanent seat on the Security Council.
The world has changed. Global governance must change with it.
We need reforms to make global frameworks truly universal & representative of today's world.
