It was in October 2015 that the President of the Republic of Mali, His Excellency Mr. Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, accompanied by a high-level delegation, including several ministers and high-level officials, attended the third India-Africa Forum Summit in New Delhi at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi.
Earlier, the First Lady of Mali, Madame Keita Aminata Maiga, had also visited New Delhi, India in August 2015 to attend the ‘Global Call to Action Summit’, when she briefly met Mr. Modi during the visit.
From the Indian side, high-level visits took place recently when the Indian Vice President H.E. Mr. Mohammad Hamid Ansari, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Salma Ansari, visited the Republic of Mali in September 2016, at the invitation of H.E. Mr. Modibo Keita, Prime Minister of the Republic of Mali.
The Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Mr. Mobashar Jawed Akbar’s visit to Mali from February 28 to March 4, 2017, was the latest addition to the string of ministerial-level visits between the two nations.
Partners-in-Progress
What does the increase in the number of high-level visits signify? It signifies a reinvigorated commitment to each other’s development. It reaffirms the promise to be ‘partners-in-progress’. And to further galvanise this process, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Indian Chamber of Commerce and the Mali Chamber of Commerce on trade, commerce and bilateral cooperation in the sidelines of the 11th North-East Business Summit, which took place on March 10, 2017 at the Shangri-La’s Eros hotel in New Delhi.
