During this visit of the Prime Minister, India will establish bilateral and then multilateral dialogue in the first continent under BRICS. The Foreign Ministry said in a statement about his visit that “the visit of Rwanda, Uganda, a and South Africa will strengthen our relationship with the continent of Africa”. In the past few years, there has been an important agreement with African countries in different areas. In the last four years, our country’s President, Vice President, and Prime Minister have visited 23 African countries.

This will be the first Rwandan visit of any Indian Prime Minister.

The Ministry of External Affairs says that ‘India has been given top priority in India’s foreign policy.’ Cooperation in the defense and agriculture sector during the visit of Rwanda and Uganda will be Modi’s top priority. After this, he will go to South Africa to participate in the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) annual summit. This will be the second visit of PM Modi to Africa. Before that, he went on a tour of Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya in 2016. Prime Minister will reach Rwanda on July 23. For the first time, a Prime Minister of India will be visiting Rwanda.
