Describing India’s security engagement with Africa as ‘a vital part of our foreign policy’, Shri TS Tirumurti, Secretary (ER) today said that India and the African continent’s engagement in tackling a complex set of security challenges has deepened in the recent past, largely due to an unprecedented impetus to political engagements between the two regions.
Shri Tirumurti was delivering a keynote address at the 4th India-Africa Strategic Dialogue on ‘India and Africa: Deepening the Security Engagement’, organised by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA), in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi, on March 27, 2018.
