Toasting the African resurgence on the occasion of Africa Day, India Friday underlined its commitment to build a stronger partnership with the 54-nation continent that is increasingly finding its voice on the global stage.
'On Africa Day, we reaffirm our commitment to work together in partnership with Africa to realize our potential by building an even stronger relationship in an environment conducive to prosperity, peace, security and development for our peoples,' Minister of State for External Affairs Preneet Kaur said in her Africa Day lecture at the Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) at Sapru House here.
Africa Day commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in Addis Ababa on 25 May 1963 and celebrates African unity. The OAU was succeeded by the African Union in 2002.
