As part of its Africa program, Futuribles focuses on the continent’s relations with emerging powers. After examining Russian strategies in Africa, Futuribles turned its attention to India and organized a Round table discussion on the future of relations between India and the African continent. This included issues such as what kind of cultural, economic and diplomatic cooperation can we expect between India and African states by 2035? With which countries can cooperation be developed? What could be the geostrategic significance of these cooperative ventures?
The Round table discussion was held on November 9 2023. It was in English and associated the following panelists:
Sanusha Naidu, Senior Research Fellow at Institute for Global Dialogue, City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa; Dr Renu Modi, Professor and former Director of the Centre for African Studies, University of Mumbai; and Dr Abhishek Mishra, Associate Fellow with the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (MP-IDSA).
