New Delhi, May 28 2025 (ANI): At the Africa Day celebration program in Delhi, EAM Dr S Jaishankar said, "Our engagement has been guided by the 10 principles enunciated by Prime Minister Modi, which reaffirms that Africa's goals and agenda are India's priority. Unlike extractive models of engagement, India believes in an inclusive, demand-driven development cooperation by way of building local capacity and creating local opportunities, ensuring that African countries not only benefit from investments but also develop self-sustaining growth ecosystems. India is committed to the overall development of Africa by keeping our markets open, sharing our experiences with the digital revolution to support Africa's development, improving the delivery of public services, spreading education and digital literacy in Africa, strengthening African agriculture, and working with African nations to keep the oceans open and free for the benefit of all nations..."

00:23We believe that Africa should be represented in line with the Izalwani Consensus and the Seteh Declaration.
00:33We also affirm our commitment in advancing Africa Development Framework Agenda 2063, aimed to provide a better, secure, and sustainable future for the people of Africa.
