African Union is a continental body that consists of 55 states belonging to the African continent. It was launched as a successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 2002.

Mr Jaishankar on Sunday reaffirmed India's commitment to the United Nations on the 76th anniversary of UN Day.

He reiterated the importance of reformed multilateralism that reflects rebalancing, fairness and multipolarity and said that it will always be a constructive force in enhancing UN's effectiveness and reliability.
