IETO Delegation invited to the Republic of Djibouti to formalize discussions on the Djibouti Airport project by GMR Builders in India and the supply of Tata Motor Sedan cars to the country. The Ambassador of Djibouti Mr.H.E. Mr. Said Absieh Warsama inaugurated the India Djiobuti Trade Forum initiated by IETO for various trade and promotion activity between the two countries.
Djibouti, a tiny nation of less than three million people in the Horn of Africa, is cooperating with India closely to combat threats to shipping in the Indian Ocean from pirates based out of civil war-wracked Somalia. Djibouti is an important transit port for regional and international shipping as well as a base for refueling.
“India has always been a significant entity in the region, as the name Indian Ocean implies. We are helping India directly as well as indirectly in the war against piracy. Indian marines are going to Djibouti and staying there two-three days before going out to sea to search for pirates, Ambassador told in an interview here.
