President Draupadi Murmu to visit Algeria, 2 other African nations
NEW DELHI: President Droupadi Murmu will undertake a state visit to three African nations — Algeria, Mauritania and Malawi, from October 13-19, which is a reflection of India-Africa “growing partnership”, the MEA said on Wednesday.
This will be the “first ever visit” by an Indian president to the three African nations, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Secretary (Economic Relations) in the MEA, Dammu Ravi, at a briefing here said the visit comes after the African Union became a member of the G20 at its summit last year under the Indian presidency of the grouping.
