Indian High Commissioner reflects on historical presidential visit

Speaking to Mmegi this week, India’s High Commissioner, Bharath Kumar Kuthati, reflected on what he described as “a profoundly significant moment happening on the eve of our 60 years of diplomatic relations.” He said the three-day state visit by President Droupadi Murmu went very smoothly and was marked by very productive discussion across sectors that both governments now see as ripe for deeper engagement.

Central to the visit was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding recognising the Indian Pharmacopoeia, an agreement that will finally allow Botswana to import high-quality, affordable medicines directly from India.
