At the 20th G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a groundbreaking proposal to empower Africa's skill revolution. The G20 Africa-Skills Multiplier Initiative aims to train one million certified trainers over the next decade, boosting local capacity and long-term development. Modi emphasized that India's values, particularly the principle of integral humanism, can serve as a model for sustainable growth. He highlighted Africa's crucial role in global progress and praised India's longstanding solidarity with the continent. India's engagement with Africa is guided by 10 key principles, including capacity building, harnessing digital technology, and combatting climate change. With over $100 billion in bilateral trade and $75 billion in investments, India is Africa's fourth-largest trading partner. Indian companies have made significant contributions across various sectors, and the country remains committed to developing Africa's connectivity and infrastructure. The initiative comes at a pivotal moment in India-Africa relations, with the two nations working together to create a self-sustaining growth model. By empowering a million trainers, the G20 Africa-Skills Multiplier Initiative has the potential to drive Africa's development and create a brighter future for the continent.
