India-Africa Relations in a Multipolar World and Global South Dynamics

December 21, 2023

In this interview, we explore the fragmentation of the world order and the evolving relationship between India and Africa within the current geopolitical context. We examine how shifting global dynamics and regional complexities are shaping the strategic partnerships and economic interactions between these two regions. Our discussion covers the impact of geopolitical changes on their bilateral relations, including trade, diplomacy, and strategic alliances. Sunjoy Joshi offers insights into how India and Africa are navigating these transformations and seeking opportunities for collaboration in the shifting global landscape.
