India gives food aid to China’s def partner Djibouti

New Delhi:

India is currently delivering food aid to Djibouti, an important state in the Horn of Africa and host to the only offshore Chinese naval base in the region. In a statement, MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said that India had decided to provide “humanitarian aid” in the form of food to Sudan, South Sudan, Djibouti and Eritrea. He said INS Airavat left Mumbai on October 24 on a visit to the region with aid comprising wheat flour, rice and sugar.

“In Djibouti, the ship has delivered 50 tonnes of food and will depart from there today. Next, it will reach Mombasa (Kenya) on November 20 to deliver 70 tonnes of food aid meant for South Sudan,” Srivastava added.

Earlier, the ship delivered 100 tonnes of food aid after reaching Port Sudan on November 2. Thereafter, it reached Massawa Port in Eritrea on November 6 and delivered 50 tonnes of food aid meant for that country. TNN

Centre of entrepreneurship, innovation built by India

Djibouti gets first India-built centre of innovation, November 24, 2018: The Times of India

With China having set up its first naval base in Djibouti, India is making small moves to establish its own presence in the country. On Friday, Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh inaugurated a centre of entrepreneurship and innovation built by India.

Built in a record time of two years, the project is one of the first targeting small businesses in Djibouti, but more important, it is a project that was specifically asked for by the Djibouti government. In November 2016, India had provided a $5 million grant to build an incubation centre in Djibouti.

In a statement, the Indian mission in Ethiopia and Djibouti said, “The centre, powered by solar energy, has been established to expose the youth to the entire ecosystem of entrepreneurship.” India, it added, had already provided $49.13 million to build a cement factory.
