Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu called for fully exploring the
complementarities and opportunities in economic ties with African
nations to bring about quicker and sustainable mutual progress.
"India
emerges as a key driver in global governance and global growth, African
nations will continue to play a prominent role as India's trusted
partners and stakeholders in its prosperity," the Vice President said at
India-Senegal Business Event in Dakar.
Naidu is on a four-day visit to the country, which is the first-ever State visit from India to Senegal.
Noting
that India and Senegal have had a fruitful 60 years of diplomatic
relations, the Vice President observed that both countries have
pluralistic traditions, believe in cultural tolerance and that these
values form the core of people-to-people relations.
He pointed
out that India, as the largest democracy in the world, and Senegal, as
one of the most stable and model democracies in Africa, are natural
development partners and share a natural affinity with each other.
He
called for greater collaboration in fighting terrorism, ensuring
freedom of navigation and stated that India stands ready to enhance
defence and security partnership with Senegal.
He also called
for India and Africa to strive together to make global governance more
equitable and work towards an expanded UN Security Council.
The
Vice President observed that there is immense scope for Indian companies
to invest in Senegal, especially in agriculture, healthcare, ICT,
mining, among others.
He mentioned the success of the Centre for
Entrepreneurship and Technical Development (CETD), set up as a grant
project by India in Dakar, which has 1,000 students from Senegal and 19
other African countries.
Stressing the need to strengthen B2B
exchanges to tap potential unrealised areas, Naidu appreciated the
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) for making an effort and mounting
a business delegation to Senegal.
