President Murmu, first Indian Head of State to visit Algeria, Mauritania, Malawi

Indian President Droupadi Murmu is on a visit to three African nations: Algeria, Mauritania and Malawi, from October 13 to 19, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said.

Notably, this will be the first-ever visit by an Indian Head of State to these three African nations.

“It is coming at a time when the African Union has been made a permanent member of the G20 during India’s presidency last year. Africa is the core of the Global South, as the PM had been driving the agenda. Voice of the Global South has been done with the agenda of development. We believe that partnerships with Africa are very important and critical for our own growth and the growth of the global south,” MEA Secretary Dammu Ravi said in a press briefing.

She will also be the first-ever President from India to visit Algeria at the level of head of state or head of government after 39 years. (ANI)
