New Delhi: India and Africa are likely to discuss various projects worth $12 billion in agriculture, mining and other sectors at the CII-EXIM Bank conclave, which would start here on Monday.

“India and Africa are making a joint bid to tune the current global economic uncertainty into an opportunity for business partnerships for establishing long-term business partnerships," CII said in a statement.
