India-Africa Forum Summit postponed amid Ebola outbreak
The Statesman Delhi
|May 22, 2026
The Fourth India-Africa Forum Summit (IAFS IV), initially scheduled to take place in New Delhi on 28-31 May, has been postponed due to the evolving health situation in parts of Africa while new dates for the Summit and its associated meetings will be finalised through mutual consultations and communicated in due course, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Thursday.
The decision was taken after extensive consultations between the Indian government, the Chairperson of the African Union (AU), and the African Union Commission regarding the holding of the summit and associated activities.
The move follows the World Health Organisation (WHO) declaring Ebola virus outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) due to the risk of further transmission.
