India boosts ties with Ethiopia and Côte d’Ivoire

India is actively strengthening its bilateral and strategic partnerships across Africa through a three-nation diplomatic tour led by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. Running from October 6 to 10, the visit targets key West and East African partners including Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia to enhance trade, security, and solidarity with the Global South.

This diplomatic push underscores India's post-G20 commitment, remaining a steady, practical development partner tailored to African priorities.
