India and Germany’s trilateral partnership for developing countries is set to expand into the African states of Ethiopia and Madagascar, said Chaman Dhanda, India Head for Trilateral Cooperation at GIZ, Germany’s official technical assistance agency. In addition, the two countries are also open to considering projects in Asia, given that the focus this far has been on Africa and Latin America. For example, Mint had earlier reported that India is considering cooperation with America, Australia and France in the Pacific Islands. India is exploring a similar proposal with the United Kingdom under the Global Innovation Partnership to harness innovation in India to deliver development in strategic third countries. While trilateral cooperation has been pushed through with considerable backing from India and its chosen partners, they are also understood to come with coordination challenges.
