In his address at the Africa Day celebrations in the national capital, Jaishankar said that India-Africa relations have deep roots. He emphasized that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has redefined India's engagement in Africa. Jaishankar said that we all know that Africa today is going through a phase of very rapid change.
