India-Africa summit postponed due to Ebola outbreak, first case confirmed in South Kivu
A first Ebola case was confirmed in the DR Congo's rebel-held South Kivu province. The decision was made in recognition of “the importance of ensuring the full participation and engagement of African leaders and stakeholders, and mindful of the emerging public health situation on the continent", said a joint statement issued by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and the African Union. After discussing the "evolving health situation", India and the AU agreed that it would be "advisable" to hold the summit at a later date, the ministry said.
