About the IAF Summit
The India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS) is a celebration of the close partnership between Africa and
India. It is an acknowledgement of our shared history as well as our future
prospects. From our struggle against colonialism and apartheid, we have emerged
to jointly accept the challenges of a globalizing world. Even as we combat with
common threats - the threat from international terrorism; the scourge of
poverty, disease, illiteracy and hunger; the challenge of climate change - and
collectively promote the socio-economic advancement of all our people, we
believe that India and Africa traverse the same path, share the same values and
cherish the same dreams.
A vibrant India and a
resurgent Africa have a vision of a close partnership. A partnership that is
anchored in the principles of equality, mutual respect and mutual benefit.This
vision takes us beyond our strong bilateral relationships, our close ties with
regional economic communities and aims to develop a new paradigm of cooperation
which takes into account Africa's own aspirations for pan-African institutions
and development programmes.
The third edition of the
four day IAFS summit which will take place during 26th-29th October 2015
enables consultations at the highest political level between the heads of
government of 54 nations across Africa and the Indian government to give a new
thrust to our age-old partnership. It provides an opportunity to not only
reflect on the past, but to define the road ahead in tune with the times we
live in (Source: http://www.iafs.in/).
