The Xinhua General Overseas News Service reports that Dr.
Oliver Tambo (then ANC President) accepted an invitation of the
Janata Dal Party (then ruling party in India) to visit India in

Elaborating on Nelson Mandela's visit to India in October
1990, another Xinhua General Overseas News Service report refers to
Mandela's confidence in "India's continued support to the African
National Congress in its fight against apartheid" (18 Oct. 1990).
The source also reports Mandela's reception of the special Jamnalal
Bajaj Birth Centenary Award consisting of 500,000 rupees in foreign
exchange (Ibid.).
The Boston Globe describes Nelson Mandela's visit to India
as "the first leg in a tour of Asia and Australia seeking support
for the fight against apartheid" (17 Oct. 1990).
According to the United Press International, the Indian
authorities informed Nelson Mandela, who paid a visit to India in
October 1990, about the Indian government's setting aside one
million dollars in assistance "to Mandela and his fight against
apartheid" (15 Oct. 1990, 1).
Further information on the subject is currently unavailable to
