Addis Ababa \u2014 The second India-Africa Forum will be held next week in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia and the seat of the African Union (AU), Sudan Tribune has learnt.<\/p>\n

During the two-day summit to be held between 24-25 May, Indian and African leaders will be discussing regional and international issues of common concern including trade, growing threats of piracy, terrorism and climate change.<\/p>\n

The issues of UN reforms will be at the top of the agenda. Ahead of the forum, India has backed Africa for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is expected to arrive in Ethiopia on 23 May, will co-chair the summit. The Indian premier will also confer with his Ethiopian counterpart, Meles Zenawi, on bilateral issues and the situation in the region.<\/p>\n

India hosted the first summit in New Delhi in April 2008, which adopted two far-reaching documents, the Delhi Declaration and the India-Africa Framework for Cooperation.<\/p>\n

India’s bilateral trade with Africa is estimated to be around $50 billion. India has set a target to boost this trade mark to $70 billion by 2012, still far behind China’s bilateral trade with Africa, which passed the $100 billion mark in 2010. The summit will bring together leaders from Egypt, Kenya, Algeria, Chad, Burundi, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Malawi, Senegal, Namibia, Mauritania, Swaziland, Nigeria, and South Africa.<\/p>\n

Jean Ping, the chairperson of the AU Commission, will also take part in the summit.<\/p>\n

The 53-nation AU has assured India that it will work closely with New Delhi to ensure the success of the second India-Africa Forum summit.<\/p>\n
