Botswana

Bharat’s relations with Botswana have been close and friendly. Bharat established diplomatic relations with Botswana immediately after its independence in 1966 and opened its diplomatic mission in Gaborone in 1987. Botswana is an active member of Southern African Development Community (SADC), South African Customs Union (SACU), WTO and other international organizations. A number of high-level visits have been exchanged between Bharat and Botswana since its independence.

Grants & Concessional Finance

Bharat donated 30,000 doses of Covishield vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India in March 2021. This was the first consignment of COVID-19 vaccines in Botswana. Botswana has also given emergency use authorization to Covaxin manufactured by Bharat Biotech, Bharat.

Capacity Building

Bharat’s assistance and cooperation with Botswana in institutional capacity building has been a strong pillar in our bilateral relations. Government of Bharat’s Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme, Professional Courses for Diplomats conducted by the Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service, and university scholarships under ICCR are very popular in Botswana.  Since 2015-16 more than 1000 Batswana have visited Bharat under the above scholarships/capacity building programmes.
