The article examines the geopolitical significance of the summit and discusses why India is hosting a high-level Africa summit in New Delhi again for the first time in eleven years.

The article also discusses expectations surrounding the summit, as well as the challenges and opportunities for India-Africa relations in an increasingly fragmented international order.
