India eyes stronger Africa ties

Speaking during a press conference held at India House last week ahead of the upcoming Fourth India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS-IV), the Indian High Commissioner to Botswana, Bharath Kumar Kuthati said the summit comes at a critical moment when developing countries are facing growing challenges caused by geopolitical tensions, climate change, inflation, food insecurity and disruptions in global trade and energy supply chains.

“The international system today is witnessing profound uncertainty and transition. It is in such times that trusted partnerships rooted in mutual respect, shared priorities, and genuine cooperation become increasingly important,” Commissioner said.
