New Delhi [India], May 26 (ANI): African Heads of Missions in New Delhi and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) jointly celebrated Africa Day on Wednesday in New Delhi, the MEA said on Wednesday.

The occasion provides an opportunity to celebrate and appreciate the continent’s diverse heritage and acknowledge the economic potential of the African continent. Over the years, the Ministry of External Affairs has extended support for this annual celebration showing the importance of Africa in the Indian Foreign Policy.

” India’s traditional and historic partnership with Africa has further strengthened through intensifying political engagement including 34 visits at the level of Heads of State / Heads of Government and Vice President from India and more than 100 incoming visits by African leaders to India,” the MEA said in a statement.

In addition, every country in Africa has been visited by India’s Union Ministers. India expanded its diplomatic footprints globally by the opening of 18 new diplomatic missions in Africa taking the total Indian Missions in the continent to 47. Prime Minister Modi’s 10 Guiding Principles of India’s engagement with Africa have been serving as an instrument in India’s multidimensional relationship with Africa in the changing world.

India’s concessional loans, grants and capacity-building programme have played a significant role in Africa’s socio-economic development. So far, Lines of Credits (LoCs) worth USD 12.26 billion have been extended to African countries, thus making them the second-largest recipient of India’s concessional loan.

During IAFS-III in 2015, India offered 50,000 scholarships under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) and other scholarship programmes, out of which more than 32,000 scholarships slots have already been utilized by African youth. Thousands of African students are presently pursuing their higher studies in various Indian universities under the self-financing scheme as well.

The government of India has been providing support to African countries to address the digital divide through MEA’s flagship scheme e-VidyaBharati for tele-education and e-ArogyaBharati for telemedicine (e-VBAB) offering scholarships to 15,000 African students under this scheme to pursue online education in undergraduate, postgraduate and diploma courses. So far, 19 African countries have become partners in this initiative.

Furthermore, India has established seven IT Centers in Egypt, Ghana, Lesotho, Morocco, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania to promote digital literacy among African youth. Eight Vocational Training Centers (VTCs), two Centers for Geo-informatics Applications in Rural Development (CGARD) in Madagascar and Niger, upgradation of technology center in Zimbabwe have been contributing to Africa in its digital transformation and skill enhancement.

On trade and economic front, India is the fourth largest partner for Africa registering USD 69.7 billon trade during 2018-19, and is the fifth largest investor in Africa with cumulative investments at USD 70.7 billion.

India’s investments are in sectors like oil & gas, mining, banking, pharma, textiles, automotive, agriculture, etc. 38 African nations have benefited from the Government of India’s Duty-Free Tariff Preference (DFTP) scheme which provides duty-free access to 98.2 per cent of India’s total tariff lines.

Under the Government of India’s “Vaccine Maitri” initiative, India has supplied 37.59 million doses (1.05 million doses under grant, 10.2 million doses under commercial and 26.38 under GAVI’s COVAX initiative) to 42 African countries and 3, 25,000 doses to UN health workers and UN peacekeepers.
