India to step up digital co-operation with Angola
Indian Ambassador to Angola and the Angolan Minister of External Affairs held a meeting
During a dialogue held on Monday at the headquarters of the Ministry of External Affairs, the diplomat stressed that this is a fundamental tool to promote business and transform reality.
Tete Antonio, Angola's Foreign Minister said the government recognises the role the Asian country currently plays in the African country's economic development, based on existing cooperation agreements, but considers it possible to expand these ties. This is reported by Prensa Latina, a partner of TV BRICS.
The two sides assessed the state of bilateral co-operation, especially in political-diplomatic, economic, trade and social aspects, and discussed issues such as the resumption of the joint commission and exchange of visits between the two countries' high-level delegations.
India is Angola's third largest trading partner, accounting for about 10 per cent of the country's foreign trade, mainly through purchases of crude oil and bulk products.
According to Angola's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, bilateral trade has grown to three and a half billion dollars since 2021, while Indian exports to the African country have increased by US$452 million.

Ashok MondalNID Director"Signing this Memorandum of Understanding between the National Institute of Design (NID) and TV BRICS marks a pivotal milestone in advancing design diplomacy across the BRICS media space. This moment is especially significant as India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit, following India’s assumption of the BRICS chairship under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The partnership directly embodies his call to elevate Indian design standards through 'Design in India, Design for the World'. Through the global reach and broadcast capabilities of TV BRICS, we are excited to showcase the extraordinary visual storytelling, films, and design research of NID’s Film and Video Communication students to an international audience, while also welcoming and screening film works from BRICS network countries at NID Ahmedabad. This reciprocal exchange strengthens our shared commitment to educational, cultural, and artistic collaboration, fostering sustainable connections among global creative communities. NID Ahmedabad looks forward to leveraging this partnership to deepen cross-cultural dialogue, build international expert networks, and unlock transformative opportunities for filmmakers, researchers, and faculty across member nations" -
