The India-Africa partnership has recorded considerable progress in recent years but realizing its full potential needs serious introspection and an objective appraisal.

While African countries continue to go through political, diplomatic, security and socio-economic transitions, their population, economic potential and political influence in world affairs is set to increase. In this context, it would be crucial to identify mutual interests between India and its various partners in Africa and focus on deepening, and diversifying, their multidimensional engagement.
