  • India-Angola Relations
    India-Angola Relations India and Angola have traditionally enjoyed friendly and cooperative relations dating back to pre-independence era of Angola. Bilateral relations have substantially grown since Angola´s independence in 1975. With the discovery of oil, Angola has become a major source of energy, for India. India is also keen on importing LNG from Angola, once it is ready to export LNG to other countries. This would further enhance cooperation in energy sector. Angola is the 4th largest producer of diamonds in the world while 90% of world´s rough diamonds are processed, cut and polished in India. Apart from cooperation in oil, gas and diamond sector, India is interested in participating in national reconstruction and infrastructure programmes in Angola, making it a leading example of South-South cooperation. Political Relations Late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi visited Angola in May 1986 and Mr. José Eduardo dos Santos, President of Angola since 1979, visited India in April 1987. Further, on July 10, 2009, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh met with President Jose Eduardo dos Santos on the sidelines of the G-8 meeting at L’Aquila, Italy.
