India, which woke up belatedly to Africa’s potential as a strategic, economic and diplomatic partner, is now showing urgency in making up for lost time. The third India-Africa Summit in New Delhi in October marked a final break from previous engagements with that continent, which were driven by ideology, non-alignment and anticolonialism.

India’s relations with the 54 nations of Africa have received a much-needed reboot as a result of the India-Africa Forum Summit in New Delhi this week. An additional concessional credit line of $10 billion came alongside pledges for India and Africa to interact closely across areas of mutual interest like energy, climate change, agriculture and terrorism. India also renewed its commitment to help develop infrastructure, public transport, clean energy, irrigation, agriculture and manufacturing capacity across Africa.
