Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Tanzania from South Africa on the third leg of his four-nation tour of Africa where he will hold bilateral discussions with Tanzanian President John Magufuli in Dar-es-Salaam followed by the signing of agreements.
Here are the latest developments:
A main highlight of PM Modi's visit to Tanzania will be a meeting with a group of "Solar Mamas"- Women from developing nations who have been trained in harnessing solar energy at the Barefoot College at Tilonia village in Ajmer, Rajasthan.
PM Narendra Modi was given the ceremonial welcome in Dar-es-Salaam where he Played drums along with President Magufuli.
Later this evening, the Prime Minister will interact with members of the Indian community, which numbers around 50,000 in Tanzania.
PM Modi addressed the Indian community at the reception hosted by the Mayor of Durban and the Indian High Commissioner to South Africa.
"Durban is the largest Indian city outside India. It is home to the largest population of Indian-origin in South Africa," PM Modi said in an address to the Indian community at City Hall.
PM Modi, on the second day of his engagements in South Africa, boarded a train from Pentrich Railway Station to Pietermaritzburg in memory of the 1893 incident in which Mahatma Gandhi was thrown out of a train compartment because of his skin colour.
PM Modi also inaugurated an exhibition ''The Birthplace of Satyagraha'' in Pietermaritzburg, the place that, he said, marks the transformation of "Mohandas" into "Mahatma". He then, in an effort to boost economic ties, attended a meeting of the Alumni Network.
Earlier on Friday, after arriving in Pretoria, he held talks with South Africa President Jacob Zuma and addressed a meeting of business leaders. In the evening, he addressed more than 11,000 members of the Indian community in Johannesburg calling the country the land of Madiba or Nelson Mandela and the 'karma-bhoomi' of Mahatma Gandhi.
The PM is on a tour of four African countries aimed at boosting ties in a region where China has a strong presence. India's economic footprint in Africa is dwarfed by that of China, but it is gaining ground led by private entrepreneurs with a keen interest in the continent's burgeoning energy sector.
PM Modi's first stop was Mozambique, where India handed over 30 Mahindra SUVs to the government, completing the delivery of $4.5 million grant assistance as part of supporting institutions in the African country.
