Asia Africa Growth Corridor

Indian and Japanese governments unveiled a vision document for the Asia Africa Growth Corridor.

It is an attempt to create a “free and open Indo-Pacific region” by rediscovering ancient sea-routes and creating new sea corridors that will link the African continent with India and countries in South-Asia and South-East Asia.

Japan’s contribution to the project will be its stateof-the-art technology and ability to build quality infrastructure, while India will bring in its expertise of working in Africa.

Unlike China’s OBOR project Asia Africa Growth Corridor is conceived as a more open and inclusive programme that will be based on more consultations and keep people as the centre piece rather than just trade and economic ties.
