  • 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. Other important visits from India to Angola were those of: Shri Eduardo Faleiro, then Minister of State for External Affairs in October 2006; Shri Anand Sharma, then Minister of State for External Affairs from in June 2007; Shri Jairam Ramesh, then Minister of State for Commerce in March 2008; and Shri Murli Deora, then Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas in January 2010. A number of public and private sector business delegations, including those from Oil PSUs, GAIL, MMTC, State Bank of India, FICCI, Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council delegation, Reliance Industry Limited, HPCL Mumbai and Mittal Investments have visited Angola in the recent years resulting in a steady growth of bilateral economic and commercial relations.
