An important landmark between India and Kenya along with the rest of AU. President William Ruto has been an active proponent of the Rupee-Shilling trade between us and the Kenyans. Kenya is also inviting Indian infrastructure companies to build ports and highways while modernizing Kenyan agricultural yield and technology.
Ruto was on a 3-day state visit to India and met both PM Modi ji and President Droupadi Murmu.
Also, an MoU to work together on
counter-terrorism was signed between the two countries.
The speed with which Africa is ditching the West and latching on to us, the Chinese and the Russians is quite pleasantly surprising. Especially after the Ukraine war became a global headache.
I have a feeling that in the coming years, we three will be the dominant forces in the entire continent.
Russia for defence-related cooperation.
China for infrastructure-related cooperation.
India for learning, infrastructure, defence and agriculture-related cooperation.
The Japanese and the Koreans will also gain through cooperating with India, but at this rate, I see the West's story finishing in Africa for good in the next 10 years.
