metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article touches upon India’s policy towards Africa. Since the Roman era Africa has always
  caught the attention of developed countries, as the continent was an enormous field for
  exploring, a complete terra incognita. Later a new wave of interest came as Africa possessed
  abundant resources and had connections to commercial maritime routes: the Red Sea, the
  Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean. Today India does its best not only to become
  a trusted trade and political partner for African states, but also to win their sympathies.
  For example, Indian leaders never tire of reminding that India — just like Africa — fought
  against colonialism, thereby opposing itself to the former colonial empires and emphasizing
  its common historical and cultural background with Africa. The author reviews Indian
  foreign policy, diaspora influence, and Indian military presence on the continent. Meanwhile
  some countries, for example the U.S. or Japan, remain wary of Chinese wide-spreading influence,
  especially in Africa, where a new Chinese military base was recently built. In that regard
  new alliances are forming, the balance of power is shifting. A comparative analysis of Indian,
  Chinese, and U.S. policy towards Africa was carried out, considering the prospects of international
  relations between Africa and its key partners.
