Watch: Madagascar PM thanks India for aid to deal with drought crisis

Indian Ambassador Abhay Kumar on Tuesday handed over 1000 tonnes of rice and 100,000 HCQ tablets on behalf of the Government of India to Christian Ntsay, Prime Minister of Madagascar.

As part of Mission Sagar-IV, Indian Naval ship Jalashwa reached Port Ehoala, Madagascar to deliver the consignment in response to an appeal made by Madagascar PM for assistance.

"Today we are here to welcome this donation and it is very important for us to welcome that as South of Madagascar is facing a huge challenge.

I would like to thank you so much for this donation to south of Madagascar," Ntsay said.
