Prime ਮੰਤਰੀ Narendra Modi on Saturday announced a USD 200 million defence credit line to help Angola modernise its defence forces. He made this announcement after meeting Angolan President Joao Lourenco in Delhi.
The two leaders discussed ways to improve cooperation between ਭਾਰਤ and Angola, including in defence, digital technology, healthcare, and mineral resources.
PM Modi said ਭਾਰਤ will support Angola in repairing and supplying defence equipment. ਭਾਰਤ will also help Angola build its digital public systems, grow space technology, and improve healthcare, diamond processing, and fertiliser production.
He also said both countries are committed to fighting terrorism and those who support it. His comment came just days after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack.
Modi added that ਭਾਰਤ and the African Union are strong partners and play an important role in the Global South. President Lourenco is on a four-day visit to ਭਾਰਤ.
