Nicely nailed...please keep it up.. as African...I love this idea. India and Africa has a lot in common on which we can build.

[LinemediaStudioprinting]

We've been friend with India for quite a long time now.

I can only hope the powers remember Africa is now Islamic Continent of Africa. So, their priorities are changing. Next 10 - 15 years, someone in an African country will lead an election campaign of India Out, like muizzu. So hopefully this is kept in mind.

First Post is far the most informative News Channel out there, you explain so well that a layman can easily understand.

Just to reiterate...
India has been trading with Africa since the Egyptian civilization ...

It was Indian metallurgists that discovered gold/diamond deposits and started mining them 1000 years ago when we started to import them from the tribes without enslaving thrm for it!!

Prices for gold had sky rocketed in India at the time and the deposits were much less hence new sources needed to be discovered

India n Africa met with similar fates since the 16th century
So its not a game of greed n power for us!

African countries as former european colonies have similar struggles like India. BRICS is the solution.

[jituladhikary]

India and Africa are like brothers and sisters there a lot indian descendants in Africa like in Mauritius, in Southern Africa and south African etc there are a lot of indian companies in African but sometimes these companies over exploit our workers in Africa.

Him and Yogi would be the next PM of India 🇮🇳

[computerjaano]

In ancient time india had a trade relations with africa from the ancient Times 😊

[KO.....]

India should focus on India and leave Africa alone, same for Chinese/Western Nations etc, Let Africa focus on Africa for a change.

[MurtidaTv]

India wants to get the support of Africa to get seat in the UN security council if India and Africa collaborate they can secure seats for Africa and India to break the monoply in the UN

[SOSS]

Africa is not a play ground for any country.

[unnikrishnanpillai]

Bharat expects a world wide development.

[fredrikbergquist]

The administrative class in many African countries has been Indian for decades. Africas main problem is infrastructure for transport and power. Help them with that and it will make a difference. Money that went to Africa in the 1970ies went to dictators and weapons as part of the cold war. Lets not make that mistake again.

Now it seems Open source diplomacy. ❤🤝🙏
