New Delhi: To sensitize the Indian Industry to invest in Africa, ASSOCHAM is organizing an exclusive conference on INDIA-AFRICA: “INVESTING IN THE FUTURE”, on 25th November, 2014 at Hotel Le Meridian, New Delhi.

India is currently the 4th largest trading partner of Africa and largest trade partner of Nigeria, Angola, South Africa and Egypt. Despite the multifold increase, India is still playing to catch up to the US $200 billion China-Africa trade.
