 Johannesburg : No other country in the world shares the special relationship that exists between India and South Africa, Minister for Commerce and Industry Anand Sharma has said.
"I would like to find another parallel. I have honestly tried to but I don't find one," Sharma said during a dinner here last evening at the start of the four-day 'India Show' that will see a host of business and cultural events across the city.
"There could not have been a greater honour for me to be a part of your struggle that connects us together to the two icons who are shared heroes. No two countries have shared heroes (like) Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela is as much our hero as Gandhi is yours. In fact (Gandhi) is more yours, but also ours," the Minister said as he recalled the shared history of struggle and sacrifice.
