The Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA) organised a two-day international conference on the theme India-Africa Strategic Dialogue on November 24-25, 2011. The conference brought together prominent researchers and eminent persons from Africa and India to discuss and debate issues of strategic relevance. The second summit meeting of the Africa India Forum, held in Addis Ababa in May 2011, had emphasised upon the renewed focus of India on strengthening and enhancing its partnership with countries in the African continent in diverse areas - political, economic, social and strategic. The objective of the India-Africa Strategic Dialogue was to build on existing partnerships between African countries and India and to explore new areas of convergence for mutual engagement.
