External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar recently visited the water project in the Kibamba district of Dar es Salaam which is built with Indian support.

The project will provide clean water to the people of the country.

“In India, we have a big mission called the Jal Jeevan mission, because it means water is life. And through this mission, which is a personal commitment of Prime Minister Modi to the Indian people, we have 195,000,000 rural households. We have already covered 124,000,000 with drinking water connections. And we are today committed to doing this not only in India but seeing wherever there is a similar need abroad, a similar desire to work with us, we are very happy to respond to that,” Jaishankar was quoted as saying by ANI.

He said that the focus of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on providing clean drinking water, as seen in the Government of India’s Jal Jeevan Mission, is also reflected abroad.

The Minister stressed that working to the priorities of Africa, India is a partner with a difference.

Moreover, EAM Jaishankar also said that bringing Indian expertise, experience and best practices is the key to our development partnership.

Jaishankar also tweeted: "Visited the water project in Kibamba built with Indian support. Supplies water to Dar es Salaam. Appreciate Minister of Water Jumaa Aweso for joining."

He said: "Bringing Indian expertise, experience and best practices is the key to our development partnership. PM @narendramodi ’s focus on providing clean drinking water, as seen in our Jal Jeevan Mission, is also reflected abroad. Working to the priorities of Africa, India is a partner with a difference."
