The Indian government has sent 1000 metric tonnes of sorghum (jowar) to Lesotho as a foodgrain assistance to the people of the country.

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the assistance will help Lesotho meet its food security issues.

This is the second tranche of foodgrain assistance sent by India to Lesotho.

"India & Lesotho: Global South partners in solidarity with each other," Jaiswal wrote on X.

He said: " A consignment of 1000MT of Sorghum departed today from Nhava Sheva Port, Mumbai for Lesotho."

India and Lesotho enjoy a strong relationship that has stood the test of time and is based on shared values and principles, underpinned by the noble objective of South-South cooperation, as per the Indian High Commission in South Africa's website.

There are about 4000 Indian expatriates and PIOs in Lesotho working as teachers, accountants and other professionals.

Some of them are engaged in business as well.
