India will continue to work with African nations to promote regional security, foster stability and enhance defence capabilities, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh during the first edition of the India-Africa Army Chiefs’ Conclave.

The conclave was organised on the sidelines of the ongoing second Africa-India joint exercise ‘AFINDEX’ in Pune on Tuesday. Indian Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande and representatives from 31 African nations were present.

Rajnath reiterated India’s commitment to provide support to African partner countries in defence-related matters, including capability enhancement of their armed forces, economic growth and social development. In many African countries, the capacity-building of state systems is still a work in progress.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
