Heads of Mission of all the African countries in India have been invited to the Event.

“Africa is a continent on the move, characterized by rapid economic growth, rising educational and health standards, and expanding infrastructure and connectivity. The region has witnessed growing trade, investments, and a surge in innovation. African governments and leaders are playing an active role in shaping the continent’s future. Various non-western powers like China, Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia are also expanding their presence in the continent,” said Ambassador Anil Trigunayat, IFS (Retd.) a Former Ambassador to Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Libya and Malta & President, Millennial India International Chamber of Commerce Industry & Agriculture (MIICCIA).

“Africa’s importance to India as a development partner is visible with the decision to enter into a structured engagement with African countries under the framework of India Africa Forum Summit (IAFS).

EXIM Bank has already provided over US$ 8 billion as LoC to African countries. Africa with a population of over one billion with a combined GDP of 2.5 trillion dollars makes it a huge potential market. India’s investments in Africa have also steadily increased,” said Ambassador Anil Trigunayat.
