South Sudanese Delegates Leave for Training in India

(JUBA) – Nine South Sudanese citizens are set to travel to India to take part in specialised training courses under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation programme, known as ITEC. The Embassy of India in Juba announced the development, describing the training as part of ongoing cooperation between the two countries.

The selected participants will attend courses in areas including cocoon technology, entrepreneurship and the use of technology in agriculture.

The training will take place at accredited institutions in India. Embassy officials say the aim is to equip the trainees with practical skills that can support development activities in their respective fields when they return to South Sudan.
