The 5-day summit began with official-level consultations, which were followed by the state government’s level summit on 29 October 2015. The summit was due to be held in December 2014 after a gap of three years after the 2011 Addis Ababa summit. But Indian Foreign Ministry official Syed Akbaruddin told the media that the scheduled summit had been postponed to 2015 and would feature a larger number of African leaders, unlike the previous two summits. Media reports claimed that an outbreak of Ebola in West African countries played a role in postponing the summit.

Description

Invitations were sent to 54 African countries through Indian missions but it was not delivered only to Libya, as there was no official business at that time, India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said during her visit to the African country in May 2015. The invitation was handed over to the President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma. The logo depicts half of an African lion and half of an Indian lion.
