Indian model of partnership with Africa more promising than Chinese: Khurshid

Referring to the Chinese model meant for doing business, the Union Minister said “other model is doing business for deal but that's not partnership. Partnership is not about doing a deal. It obiviously helps both sides in doing the deal.”

“But partnership is where you sit down and conceive what you can do together. Then we ask to the local population and local government as to what that they want to do.” He stressed on a relationship that is mutually benefical for both India and Africa.

“One is get yourself rooted in Africa, take nourishment from that soil and give back to the soil in terms of fruits that yeilds and become an important part of the landscape of Africa,” he said.
