Honouring Permanent Solidarity in relationship with Namibia

In his remarks to the Joint Session of the Namibian Parliament, Modi said there are links between the two nations, not only in their aspirations for progress and freedom. The trip demonstrates the obvious desire of India to rebuild its prominence in Africa with its diplomacy in the Global South.
India’s Strategic Foreign Policy Engagement
