A total of 22 Nigerian diplomats are
currently undergoing a special training programme at the Foreign Service
Institute (FSI), New Delhi, India....
This two-week training programme from July 30, (yesterday) to August 10,
2018 is part of the ongoing cooperation and collaboration between the
Ministry of External Affairs of India and the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of Nigeria to improve capacity building under the South-South
Cooperation.
According to a statement by the High Commission of India in Abuja, this
is also part of India’s commitment to its friendly countries in sharing
the knowledge and expertise acquired in the field of diplomats’ training
through specialised training programmes under the decisions taken at
the third India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS-III) held in New Delhi in
October 2015.
“Nigerian diplomats have been attending
training programmes in FSI for courses like Professional Course for
Foreign Diplomats (PCFD). However, this is for the first time, FSI is organizing a specialized training programme exclusively for Nigerian
diplomats. The specialized training programme for 22 Nigerian diplomats
is fully funded by the Government of India,” the statement explained.
The objective of this special training
programme, according to the statement, is to enrich Nigerian diplomats’
appreciation and understanding of critical international and regional
issues world is confronting with, to acquaint with political, economic,
social and cultural realities those sway the foreign relations, to
acquaint them about India’s history and culture, to make participants
aware of India’s view on contemporary issues and to hone diplomatic
skills
“India and Nigeria stand as the two
largest democracies in the world and Africa, respectively. As the two
countries march ahead in their quest for economic and social
development, collaborative efforts both at bilateral as well as at the
regional and multilateral front are of immense importance.
In this
regard, the ongoing Special Training Programme for Nigerian diplomats at
the Foreign Service Institute in India provides an excellent platform
to build bonds of friendship between the diplomats of the two
countries,” the statement added.
