Below is the quote by Rajrishi Singhal;
“The two-way trade between India and Africa was around $72 billion in March 2015, but it is still a far cry from the target of $90 billion. But compared to 1995-96 when the trade was just $4 billion, the jump is massive,” Rajrishi Singhal, senior geoeconomics fellow at Mumbai-based think tank Gateway House, told Quartz.
“The larger message from the summit and Modi’s speech is that India’s role as a soft power, along with its enhanced monetary power, are here to stay. And we will respect their internal sovereignty and engage with them in development and progress,” Singhal added.
