Jaishankar 'India-Africa partnership will be message of stability in turbulent world'

As the world navigates through complex geopolitical challenges, the India-Africa partnership assumes particular significance, and it will be a message of “stability” and “reliability” in a turbulent and uncertain world, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday.

Addressing a gathering at the unveiling of the logo, theme and website for the upcoming India-Africa Forum Summit-IV, Jaishankar also asserted that together, India and Africa are not just development partners, but



also “partners in shaping a better world”.

His comments come in the backdrop of multiple conflicts in various parts of the world, including the one in West Asia that has stretched for more than 50 days with global ramifications.

The logo for the upcoming summit features a lion, superimposed on an image depicting interlocked maps of India and Africa.

It carries the theme ‘Enduring Partnership Shared Vision’ and the date of the summit, May 28-31.
