India’s strategic focus on West Africa

The Hindu  

Last month, on his way to Brazil to participate in the G-20 Summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a strategic halt in Nigeria. During his first two terms, Mr. Modi travelled to 10 African countries, including Uganda, where he delivered a historic speech outlining India’s vision of Africa. The importance accorded to India by Nigeria was evident from the very moment Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu welcomed Mr. Modi at Abuja airport. Editorial | This time for Africa: On India, Africa and the Global South Mr. Modi’s trip is also a follow-up to an Indian defence industry delegation’s visit to Lagos earlier this year. Meanwhile, China Sinoma International Engineering and Nigeria’s Dangote Industries Limited also signed a contract to construct a cement plant with six million tonnes per year in Itori, Ogun state.
