Over 60-member delegation of businessmen from Ficci, led by the Director General of Foreign Trade, will participate in business forum 'Namaskar Africa 2015' with a view to enhance economic ties between India and Southern African nations.

The two-day event will start from November 25 in Mozambique.

Industry body Ficci in partnership with the government is organising 'Namaskar Africa 2015', a business forum between India and the Southern African region.

"This is a joint initiative of Ficci and the government for promoting economic cooperation by engaging directly with various regional economic communities in Africa," the chamber said in a statement.

Southern Africa is the second largest trading block for India among the five sub-regions of Africa accounting for 30 per cent of India's total trade.
 

Such participation would help in increasing trade with Africa, which is emerging as a major export destination for Indian exporters.
