Session on
“India – Africa Development Partnership”6:00 pm to 7:00 pm: 25 April, 2013
WWF Auditorium, 172 – B, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi

India’s relations with the African continent goes way back in history and it is through common struggle against colonialism and apartheid that a more contemporary partnership of development cooperation took shape. Since the inception of India’s Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation Programme and its Indian Council for Cultural Relations Scholarship Programme in the 1960s, Africa has emerged as one of India’s most important development partners. During the past ten years, the India – Africa  partnership has significantly expanded in virtually every category.  Bilateral trade has expanded to touch 53 billion USD during 2010 -11.

The “Africa – India Framework Cooperation” is a unique initiative in the history of South-South cooperation, placing development cooperation within a much broader context of overall relations between India and Africa. It looks at development not merely in economic terms but as a process that is sustainable only if located within a larger political, social and intellectual environment. India-Africa development cooperation is conceived in terms of a unique three-tiered pattern, encompassing bilateral, regional and pan-African cooperation.
To discuss this unique model of cooperation, Aspen Institute India invites you to join a talk on  “India – Africa Development Partnership” by  Ambassador Shyam Saran, Chairman, National Security Advisory Board & Former Foreign Secretary of India.
The session will be chaired by Mr. T. N Ninan, Chairman, Business Standard Limited & Trustee, Aspen Institute India.
Participation is restricted and will be by prior registration only.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise. Replaying the past To begin with, it must be clarified that we should ...
