AFRICA AMBASSADOR’S ROUND TABLE
The growing trade relation between India and Africa is anchored on our shared history and centuries old trade and cultural relations, as both sides share common values. India is the fifth largest investor in Africa and it has invested in telecommunication, information technology, oil & gas, banking & financial services, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, automobile, mining, education and other sectors.
It is at the early stage of African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA) which came into force in 2019. The implementation and the impact of this agreement on bilateral relations between India and Africa will grow substantially in the coming years.
