this post claimed.<\/p>\n

South Sudan\u2019s Information Michael Makuei Lueth said that the Vice President for Economic Cluster, Dr. James Wani Igga was attending a conference in India and termed the rumours as that of wishful thinkers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWani is in India to attend a conference. This came from wishful thinkers who wish for VP Dr. James Wani to be sick, but Wani Igga is not sick,\u201d Makuei told Radio Tamazuj.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday this week, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, on its official page, welcomed Vice President Dr. James Wani upon his arrival in India through a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWarm welcome to Vice President James Wani Igga of South Sudan on his arrival in India for participating in the CII-EXIM Bank Conclave. Another step towards deepening the bilateral partnership between India and South Sudan,\u201d the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

The 17th CII- EXIM Bank Conclave on India-Africa Project Partnership was launched in the year 2005 to encourage Indian companies to establish and grow their footprints in Africa.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s CII-EXIM Bank Conclave on India Africa project partnership took place between 19-20 July.<\/p>\n

A similar false post was also posted here. As Radio Tamazuj has ascertained that this is false and fabricated. Such a post has the potential of misleading the public in such a way.<\/p>\n
