India-Africa relations: The role of the private sector

This research paper explores how stakeholders can improve trade and investment between India and Africa by increasing the involvement of the private sector, framing these relations within the context of South–South cooperation and the third India-Africa Forum Summit in October 2015.

• India is an increasingly significant economic partner for African nations, with a relationship rooted in shared history, common development challenges, people-to-people linkages, and the principles of South–South cooperation.
• The third India-Africa Forum Summit, scheduled for October 2015, serves as a platform for India's economic diplomacy to further strengthen ties with Africa.
• Private sector involvement is considered critical for the enhancement of relations specifically in the fields of investment and trade.
