President Hage Geingob says the African Union's permanent membership in the G20 is a good beginning.

Dr. Geingob, in an interview with France 24's 'Across Africa' programme in Paris, France, said this speaks to inclusivity.

The President also responded to the question of governance in light of the recent coups, which he said reversed the gains made towards democratic rule.

In response to the question of disputed elections in Zimbabwe, Dr. Geingob spoke out against selective judgements on Africa's affairs, saying those questioning Africa's democracies have logs in their eyes.
