Droupadi Murmu embarks on first‐ever state visit to Angola and Botswana
President Murmu begins six‑day visit to Angola & Botswana, opening new trade, energy and defence ties.
President Droupadi Murmu on 8 November 2025 began a historic six‑day state visit to Angola and Botswana, marking the first time an Indian head of state has visited these nations. 
The agenda spans bilateral talks on trade, energy, defence and people‑to‑people links, including her speech to Angola’s parliament. 
The trip underscores India’s strategic pivot toward Africa and aims to deepen cooperation in critical minerals, infrastructure and health‑care. New partnerships may also open new export and investment avenues for Indian firms.
