H.E. Manuel Mbela Bama Ndong, the Ambassador of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea held a meeting with the delegation from Equatorial Guinea led by Hon. Esono Mba Domingo, Vice – Minister of Commerce & SME Promotion, which participated in the 14th CII-EXIM Bank Conclave on India Africa Project Partnership, that took place on 17-19 March 2019 in New Delhi.

The discussion included the exchange of information on developments in trade, economic and political relations between Equatorial Guinea and India, as well as advancements in cooperation in various sectors, as a result of signed Joint Agreements.

The need for a stronger collaboration was expressed, as India -Africa partnership has assumed critical importance for the global economy. The new dynamism of African economies has also contributed to the region emerging as one of the highly attractive global investment destinations, being a key investment destination for Indian companies. The accelerated domestic economic growth has also increased demand for manufactured goods and services, such as FMCH & consumer goods, automobiles, retail, telecom, financial services and others. All these sectors have spawned attractive investment opportunities given the growth in local markets.
