Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a $200 million defence credit line to Angola to support the modernization of its armed forces. This announcement was made during the state visit of Angolan President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço to India—the first such visit in 38 years. India and Angola are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their diplomatic relations. But our ties are much older and deeper than that. When Angola was fighting for its freedom, India stood by it with unwavering faith and friendship.
