India's Africa Policy

The German Institute for International and Security Affairs published in July 2019 a report titled "India's Africa Policy" by Christian Wagner.

India has become increasingly reliant on energy from Africa while Africa and its 54 countries are also relevant to India's global ambitions. India realizes that it does not have the means and instruments to compete with China in Africa. Nevertheless, China is influencing India's policy on the continent. India launched with Japan the Asia-Africa Growth Corridor, which is designed to compete with China's economic engagement in Africa.
