Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Addis Ababa for his first official visit to Ethiopia, marking a significant step in deepening India’s engagement with Africa. The two-day trip, which includes high-level meetings and an address to Ethiopia’s Parliament, aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation and elevate the overall Africa-India relationship. Both nations framed the discussions as a chance to jointly amplify the voice of the “Global South” on the world stage. This visit is Modi’s fifth to the continent this year, underscoring a consistent diplomatic push. The engagement is built upon the “Ten Principles of India-Africa Cooperation,” a framework promoting collaboration in areas ranging from trade and digital skills to clean energy and maritime security.
