Describing Africa as 'the continent of the future', various countries in that region today wooed Indian investors while showcasing opportunities in infrastructure, energy, minerals, tourism, IT and education sectors.
Speaking at a seminar in Kochi on 'Opportunities in Africa', ambassador of Rwanda to India Lt General Kayumba Nyamwasa said unfair portrayal of African nations in the international media kept investors away from the region.
India was in a happy situation in the field of technology, affordable education and knowledge transfer. Africa was also on the move and had come to peace with itself, he said.
Nyamwasa said his country had RIPA, a one-stop investment agency to clear investment proposals. There was free
floating exchange rate and lower import tariffs, he added.
