About the Book:
Indo – African relations in twenty first century acquired new rallying points and priorities. Advent of globalisation and growing engagements of new Asian powers like China led to a new rush to Africa. Fast growing energy countries like India too found Africa energy resources and market unexplored and attractive. India moved on its historical goodwill and multi-dimensional relations to effect mutually agreed partnership with African countries.
