India's support for African Union inclusion in the G20 signals recognition within global governance. Djibouti sits at the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint linking the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, through which nearly 30 percent of global maritime trade transits. Its port complex ranks among Africa's largest. Free zones allow tax-free storage, light manufacturing and re-export. Its currency, pegged to the US dollar since 1949, offers rare stability. Integration into COMESA and AGOA frameworks expands access beyond domestic scale. Use Djibouti not as a market, but as a gateway.

-H.E. Mr Isse Abdillahi Assoweh, Ambassador of the Republic of Djibouti to India
