“We have a long history in India we are more committed,” Sulayem said.

“As a market and as a trade partner India is respected around the world. We are also discussing specific areas and lands around the world in Africa mainly for Indian entrepreneurs to manufacture.”

“Tanzania, Kenya, Senegal, Nigeria, Central Africa, East Africa and this is something we’re going to do now encouraging Indian companies to manufacture in the designated area, and these are the main issues we discussed today.”
