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.

What Does the Haryana Election Results Mean for the BJP and the Congress?
What does the Haryana Election results mean for the BJP and the Congress? This is a Suno India Production and you are listening to The Suno India Show. Padma Priya(Host)- On Thursday, Haryana ended with a hung assembly with the ruling party BJP emerging with 40 seats but still six short of the halfway mark needed to form the next government. The split verdict triggered hectic political activity with two independents, the infamous Gopal Kanda and Ranjeet Singh boarding flights to Delhi for a meeting with the BJP leadership. By Friday afternoon, things had progressed quite a bit with the independents pledging their support to BJP thereby paving way for Khattar-led BJP party to stake claim to form the government again. The Congress won 31 seats, the Jannayak Janata Party won 10 seats in its maiden elections and the Indian National Lok Dal and Haryana Lokhit party one each. Aam Aadmi Party which contested 46 seats was completely decimated. Eight ministers of the state cabinet lost the elections and only 2 out of 10 ministers who were fielded by the BJP will be returning to the state assembly. The Suno India Show reached out to Ajoy Ashirwad, Deputy Editor of The Wire who has extensive political reporting experience to understand more what the Haryana results mean for the BJP and for the future of Congress party led by Bhupinder Hooda in Haryana. Hi I am Padma Priya, your host for this episode of The Suno India Show and you are listening to this on the one and only podcast platform for issues that matter Suno India. -
