“India & Africa : Partners in Growth, Prosperity and Shared Destiny”


18Oct india Africa

The Millennial India International Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture (MIICCIA) hosted a Business Meet :“India & Africa : Partners in Growth, Prosperity and Shared Destiny”, on the 18th October, 2019.

The conference deliberated to collectively identify suitable economic opportunities in African countries and to create reliable networks for the Indian business and industry in a unique format where the Ambassadors of many countries shared their perspectives and business opportunities available in their respective countries. Senior Government officials spoke on the way forward. Representatives from EXIM Bank, ECGC, WAPCOS spoke about their partnerships & success stories with African countries.

MIICCIA’s President Ambassador Anil Trigunayat in his brief welcome address said that India has an umbilical connection with Africa. Over the last 5 years or so, lackadaisical approach of the past has changed to focused priority of the present. Not only the PM Modi but also the President, Vice President and Ministers of India have crisscrossed all the African countries engaging and assuring them. India recognises the strategic importance of Africa and feels closer cooperation in security and defence could ensure fight against terrorism. India is maintaining its unique approach of “Share and Care” as Africans themselves are focusing on “Trade not Aid” and strengthening their intra-African connectivity through the AfCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Agreement). Africa, endowed with immense natural resources, is slated to be the biggest market with the largest youngest population in next 2-3 decades. There is a real opportunity to engage with the Continent to enhance our bilateral trade beyond the unreal $70 bn or so. He said Africa is developing, and developing fast. As an example, he said that in Rwanda, medicines are being delivered by drones in far flung areas. Ambassador Trigunayat felt that the second half of this century will belong to Africa.

The Chief Guest at the event was H. E. Dr. Jenfan Muswere, Honorable Deputy Minister of Information & Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services of the Republic of Zimbabwe. In his speech, the Minister recalled that India has always been a partner in Africa’s political and economic emancipation. Trade has grown exponentially during the past decade and is expected to reach US$ 150 billion by 2020-21. He thanked India for organizing several India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS) at the Head of State Level to promote growth of trade & investment. The Minister felt that the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) presents great opportunity for India to channel its technological expertise and the region has the capacity to absorb India’s modernized equipment. Reiterating that Zimbabwe is open for business, he sought Indian investments particularly in IT, Pharmaceuticals, Mining, Power, Water, Infrastructure, SMEs and Skill Development. In order to ease business, the Minister said, Zimbabwe has taken measures to reform investment regime and has extended visa-on-arrival facility to all Indian nationals.

The Guest of Honour, Ambassador P. Harish, Additional Secretary (ED & States), Ministry of External Affairs in his speech said that Prime Minister Modi, in his speech at the Ugandan parliament on July 25, 2018, laid out the principles of India’s Africa policy; the 10 guiding principles for India-Africa engagement. He reminded that India’s engagement with Africa was on the basis of equality and transparency, and emphasized on the need of connectivity, trade & investment, capacity building and skill enhancement. He added that India was progressing rapidly in the field of renewable energy and desire to share its experience & expertise with African countries. Ambassador Harish exhorted the African Heads of Mission to take up the ‘International Solar Alliance’ Agreement with their governments for urgent ratification of the agreement by their respective countries. Ambassador Harish said while investment is good, trade is a must. Businesses must not miss on opportunities. Providing an example, he said that Africa, particularly the SADC region, has a thriving market for second-hand cars which are imported from other parts of the world. India’s second-hand automobile industry has matured enough to even have digital platform, but the industry seems to have failed to take notice of the African market.

H. E. Mr. Mohamed Maliki, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco said India has always been held in high esteem by Africans, and has been a focus country. India has been a partner in the developmental efforts of Africa. However, more needs to be done in the social sectors including education. India has achieved high standards in education and it could be shared with African countries by establishing institutions of learning on African soils for training of Africans in Africa according to the local needs. Such institutions could be run jointly by Indians and Africans. No doubt such institutions need to make money, but the motto should be to grow together. He further said that in the social sector more emphasis should be provided to agriculture and drinking water. He also stressed on the need of more connectivity by air and sea.

Ambassador Dr. B. Bala Bhaskar, Joint Secretary (West Asia & North Africa), Ministry of External Affairs felt that there is an emerging shift of strategic importance from the Gulf to the West & North African region. More and more sea ports are coming up in this region including Somalia. The region is rich in rock phosphate and 80% of India’s requirement is met by this region. 18% of our energy need come from this region. Agriculture could be a major area of cooperation by India. Dr. Bhaskar said cooperation in defence equipment is a promising area. He added that cooperation in education & vocational training is promising as Africa desire to emulate Indian’s model of development in the social sectors.

H. E. Ms. Jainaba Jagne, High Commissioner of the Republic of Gambia said there has been exponential growth in the bilateral relations between India & Africa, particularly with Gambia. President Kovind, Union Ministers of India and several senior government officials visited Gambia during the last year and half. She mentioned that Gambian Minister for Health, Science & Technology would arrive on 21st Oct, and the Minister for Petroleum & Energy on 22nd Oct. The High Commissioner said Gambia wants to learn and emulate Indian model of development.

H. E. Mr. Michael A. N. N. Oquaye Esq, High Commissioner of the Republic of Ghana felt that contrary to general perception, it is perhaps unwise to club all African countries as a single entity. There are 54 countries and each one needs to be dealt with separately as each one’s need and capability is different. To strengthen his argument, he said that all the 54 countries vote individually in UN and other international organizations (and most of the times India benefit by that). Secondly, the High Commissioner felt that the terms of India’s concessional loan was not the most favourable. Though the base interest rate is around 1%, the element of LIBOR is also added which makes it ‘not so favourable’. His third suggestion was that though India extends financing of local projects, it is limited only to a part (around 75%) of the project cost while there are countries who are ready to fully finance the project.

Ambassador R. Ravindra, Joint Secretary (Central & West Africa), Ministry of External Affairs said that of late there is a discernible heightened political engagement with African countries over the last few years. President Kovind made State Visits to Benin, Gambia and Guinea. Very recently the Vice-President visited Sierra Leone and Comoros. Political engagements with all the African countries have been made during the last 5 years. Now it is time for the businesses & industries to fill the gap. Mr. Ravindra felt that it is not difficult to do business in Africa, but one needs to be persistent and consistent. He also stressed the need of removal of trade barriers (wherever it exists) by African governments in the interest of trade & investment. He stressed that there must be at least some semblance of trade balance.

Providing an overview of India-Africa Trade & Investment, Ms Deepali Agarwal, General Manager, EXIM Bank said that India’s exports of goods to Africa have risen at an AAGR of 10% from 2009 to 2018. Exports of pharmaceutical products in 2019 was almost 20% of Africa’s global imports. Between 2009 to 2018, a total of 369 Indian FDI projects were recorded with a total investment of US$ 32.69 billion. Mozambique was the largest recipient of Indian FDI. She further said India has been pro-actively engaging with Africa which is evident from (i) duty free tariff preference (DETP-LDC) for LDCs; (ii) Pan-African E-Network, succeeded by e-VidyaBharati and e- AarogyaBharati (e-EBAB network project); and (iii) India-Africa Forum Summits. She further added that EXIM Bank is present across sectors in order to create sustainable growth and development in Africa. EXIM Bank’s partnership goals in Africa are aligned to SDGs.

Shri Kumar Sumit Saurav, AGM from Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC) said they have already extended export credit guarantee of US$ 46 billion to 42,000 exporters in 54 countries in Africa under their liberalized underwriting policy. The 5 largest beneficiaries are South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Nigeria and Tanzania. He added that ECGC has so far settled ‘claims’ of Rs. 83,000 Crores. ECGC’s motto is ‘you focus on exports; we cover the risks’.

Mr. Sanjay Singal, Senior Executive Director, WAPCOS Ltd. said the company has successfully executed 190 projects in diverse social sectors at a total cost of US$ 9.43 billion in African countries.

H. E. Mr. Ernest Rwamucyo, High Commissioner of the Republic of Rwanda in his short speech said Rwanda believes that bottlenecks are challenges which in turn mean opportunities. Connectivity between India and African countries has improved considerably. According to World Bank reports, ease of doing business in African countries has improved. Many countries including Rwanda now extended visa-on-arrival to Indian nationals. Work permits are issued more easily. Returns on investments are quite high, sometimes as high as 40%. Africa is particularly looking for investments in manufacturing and development of social sectors. India’s technologies are quite high, adaptable and transferable and are most suitable for Africa. He added that investment in training for capacity building will be most beneficial in the long term.

H. E. Mr. Gabriel P. Sinimbo, High Commissioner of the Republic of Namibia fondly recalled India’s contribution to Namibia’s freedom struggle. He said that while political engagements are of late picking up, it was not so for a long time. He added that India’s vision of engagement as equal partners and ‘shared destiny’ is the ideal model for Africa. In his brief statement, the High Commissioner requested for more partnership in manufacturing and processing for local produce for value addition. He advised that there is an old saying in Namibia that “if you want to go fast, you go alone, but if you walk slowly you find many partners”.

A significant number of Ambassadors & Trade Commissioners from other African countries also attended the business meet. A large number of people from the Indian businesses and industries benefitted from the deliberations. 6 large Indian companies from industry and service sectors gave presentations about their capabilities and details of their engagement in African countries.

MIICCIA’s main objective is to provide a true international platform to Indian Industry & Business to work globally and more aggressively. The Event was part of a series of programme titled “Ambassadors Speak”. The first was “Exploring Latin American Business Opportunities – Prospects & Potentials, followed by “India – ASEAN: Connecting for Business”, and the third one “India – Central Asia and beyond towards Growth & Prosperity”. After the present event on “India – Africa”, next in the series is and ‘India – Arab World”.

“India-ASEAN : Connecting for Business” at New Delhi on 18th February 2019.

The Millennial India International Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture (MIICCIA) hosted a Business Conference to enhance export-import between india and ASEAN countries: “India-ASEAN : Connecting for Business” at New Delhi on 18th February 2019. The conference deliberated to collectively identify suitable economic opportunities in ASEAN countries and to create reliable networks for the Indian business and industry in a unique format where the Ambassadors/High Commissioners of all the 10 ASEAN countries shared the perspectives and business opportunities available in their respective countries. Senior Government officials spoke on available economic opportunities in India and the way forward. The main motive of this business networking was to promote and strenghten to way export- import between india and ASEAN countries

Delivering his address, Shri Suresh Prabhu, Hon’ble Minister of Commerce, Industry & Civil Aviation reminded that India’s relations with ASEAN countries is much older than the formation of the ASEAN. He felt that ASEAN has already become a role model for other groupings. He further felt that ‘integration of the ASEAN countries resulted in the high economic growth for the region’. As an example of integration, the Minister pointed out the Agreement on sharing the Mekong waters among the member countries.

Speaking at the Event, the current ‘Chair’ of ASEAN, H.E. Mr. Chutintorn Gongsakdi, Ambassador of Thailand said though there were some procedural delays, ASEAN countries are working on ‘connectivity’ by road, rail and air both within the members countries as well as with India. He expressed satisfaction that a long way has already been covered in this direction.

Shri Manoj K Bharti, Additional Secretary (ED & States), Ministry of External Affairs inter-alia suggested that in order to boost people-to-people connectivity and border trade, ASEAN countries might consider opening consulates or visa offices to facilitate visa for residents of north-eastern States of India. He suggested Guwahati as a possible location. He also suggested that visa-on-arrival for Indians might also be considered by all the ASEAN countries which have not yet extended such facilities.

The presentation by Shri Sundeep Kumar Nayak, IAS, Managing Director of NCDC and Chairman of NEDAC regarding “Cooperatives to Cooperatives Trade – An Effort to Maximize Income of Farmers” was thought provoking. As the full form of MIICCIA (Millennial India International Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture) suggests, and unlike other Chambers, we are committed to the development of Agriculture, in addition to Commerce and Industry. The participants learned about NCDC/NEDAC’s initiative for hosting the 1st India International Cooperatives Trade Fair in October 2019. MIICCIA will promote the Fair through its resources in India and abroad.

The Chamber will also be organizing interactions with Heads of Missions from India and Africa; India and Arab countries and India and the CIS countries in near future. The Chamber has in the past hosted B2B meetings for large business delegations from Argentina, Guatemala, Russia, Latin America and Brazil, Thailand SME's. It has ambitious projects of mounting many trade & investment delegations to different countries. The first of such outgoing delegation is planned for Syria, Turkey and Egypt in Sept-Oct, 2019. Later a delegation and BSM are being planned for China and some ASEAN countries. India has marched forward to become the fastest growing economy in the world. ‘Incredible India’ no longer remains only a national imagination, and that makes MIICCIA a more responsible Chamber of Commerce in the country.

“ India and Latin America – Business Opportunities -Prospects and Potential “


On October 16,2018 ,the Millennial India International Chamber of Commerce , Industry and Agriculture ( www.miiccia.com) organised an interactive business seminar on “ India and Latin America -Exploring Business Opportunities -Prospects and Potential” in an entirely unique format where Ambassadors and Commercial Representatives of Latin American embassies in India were invited to share their countries potential and business prospects to a large number of Indian business and industry representatives which was followed by B2B networking and interactions. Some of the Indian companies gave presentations about their strengths and products. Ambassador TS Tirumurti, Secretary (Economic Relations) in the Ministry of External Affairs was the Chief Guest. Mr. GV Srinivas Joint Secretary looking after Latin America and the Caribbean was the Guest of Honour . Several other officials also attended the event.

While informing them about the growing Indian economic profile and exceptional trade and investment opportunities unleashed as a result of ongoing far reaching economic reforms in India by the Prime Minister. Ambassador Anil Trigunayat , President of MIICCIA highlighted the 'Make in India' , Digital India, Start up India and investment of trillions of dollars opportunities in Indian infrastructure sector.He invited the Latin American investors to take part in the Indian enterprise and opportunity for mutual benefit. India’s ease of doing business ranking continues to improve and no wonder India has become a favoured destination for foreign investments. He also highlighted Government of India’s “ Focus Latin America” initiative that has enhanced tremendous outreach to the region that has become a part of its foreign policy paradigm.
India and Latin America have several synergies and large markets that can be explored for the mutual benefit. Not only the two are engaged in bilateral cooperation but also collaborating even in multilateral fora with groupings like Andean Community, MERCOSUR,CARICOM,SICA and CELAC. It was hoped that the two sides will be able to negotiate FTA or RCEP with MERCOSUR with which already a PTA was signed that could provide further boost since our trade and economic potential and cooperation is still way below the desired levels. It could easily be doubled in 5-10 years through a focussed and well-crafted approach .We do collaborate with Brazil in the IBSA and BRICS but have to expand the footprint. Various major companies like Tata, Bajaj, OVL, Essar, Reliance etc are already present. He further added that cooperation including trade and investment in energy, minerals, agriculture, science and technology, education and people to people contacts could lead the way. Since India procures significant quantities of its energy and hydrocarbon requirements from Mexico , Argentina ,Brazil and Venezuela and others from the region could play an important role in our energy security .Similarly they could be our major partners in our food security through cooperation in agriculture as they supply oil seeds and pulses to India.

Mr GV Srinivas underscored that the proverbial distance between Latin America and India has been abridged with extensive cooperation on the ground. He urged the business community and the embassy representatives to realistically assess the potential and focus on those areas. He also recalled the recently held India-Latin America business event in Chile which could be replicated in future. He underlined that the Government was committed to removing any obstacles to trade and investment. He emphasised to strengthening trade, economic and technological cooperation with a view to expanding import and export trade and economic relations.

Ambassadors of Argentina, Colombia, Cuba and Guatemala and Commercial Representatives of Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela also highlighted the opportunities in natural resources, energy sector, tourism and infrastructure in their countries. They reiterated their commitment to enhance and deepen economic ties with India and offered all assistance. They also highly appreciated the Chamber’s focus on the Latin American region and recalled the recent B2B interactions organised for Argentinian and Guatemalan business delegations under the aegis of MIICCIA.

The Event was very well organized and very successful. The MIICCIA Chamber of Commerce President, Board of Directors, Advisors, Invited Ambassadors and their representative really enjoyed a lot with Indian Delegates and they had a wonderful experience in this interactive business conference On “Exploring Latin American Business opportunities – Trade and Investment Potential and Prospects “successful and memorable event.
