India has a long history of partnership with Africa. It became a leading voice in support of African decolonisation at the United Nations. African countries were the greatest beneficiaries of the ITEC programme launched by India. India-Africa Forum Summits have enabled collaborative exercise to build, skill, plan measures and execute policy decisions. India has promoted African economic development. Information technology (IT) is an important pillar of India’s technical cooperation with Africa. India and Africa have held common positions on global platforms and worked together to guard the interests of other developing countries. Prime Minister Modi’s Visit to Rwanda, Uganda and South Africa in July 2018 has helped in fine-tuning our Development Partnership Programs.
Key words: India, Africa, ITEC, Development, Partnership, Modi’s Visit.
