African presidents attending the ongoing\u00a0India-Africa Forum Summit were on Wednesday invited to wear the traditional Kurta Sherwani with a waist coat.<\/p>\n
The traditional Indian attire was the dress code of a photo session of all leaders attending the summit.<\/p>\n
But Zimbabwe\u2019s strong man Robert Mugabe, a long known crusader of African values and culture, stuck to his grey European suit, shirt and tie.<\/p>\n
All the other \u00a0heads of state, including Kenya\u2019s President \u00a0Uhuru Kenyatta, looked colourful in Kurta Sherwani in the photo session, except President Mugabe, who stood out oddly in the crowd.<\/p>\n
No explanation was forthcoming from President Mugabe\u2019s media team for the wardrobe choice.<\/p>\n
This is the third India-Africa Forum Summit being held as India seeks to strengthen relations with the continent.<\/p>\n
A total of 54 African nations are taking part in the summit being hosted by India\u2019s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n
