The president will also address the Indian Africa Forum Summit where he is expected to highlight Sierra Leone’s strides in the fight against Ebola and also showcase the country’s efforts at economic growth and business and investment potentials.
The summit is going to be the Modi government’s biggest diplomatic outreach involving delegates from many African countries.
Indian-Sierra Leone relations date as far back as several decades ago. This summit will provide another unique opportunity for both countries to fully harness the bilateral framework for productive cooperation between the two countries.
