The Diplomat published on 11 November 2024 a commentary titled "Africa-India Ties: The Continent's Next Big Relationship or Over-Hyped?" by Barnaby Joseph Dye, King's College London, and Punkhuri Kumar, Imperial College London.
The authors argue that the Africa-India relationship is not yet living up to expectations. Considerable barriers are preventing opportunities from being realized. This will only change when, or if, New Delhi is able to increase governmental capacity to boost political ties and development cooperation.
