Q1Consider the following statements regarding participation in the G20: 1. A country invited as a guest by a particular G20 presidency thereby becomes a permanent member of the forum. 2. The African Union's admission at the New Delhi Summit was a permanent membership change rather than a presidency-specific invitation. Which one of the following is correct?
