Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Bogdanov discussed with the ambassadors of African states a set of issues related to the preparations for the
second Russia-Africa summit scheduled for July 2023 in St. Petersburg, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced in a press release.
“The Russian side emphasized that the forthcoming forum is intended to become a key event in Russia's relations with the countries of the African continent, to determine their development in the long term, to make a significant contribution to building a fair multipolar world order, solving many global and regional problems,” the ministry said.
The ministry noted that it was proposed to the African envoys that the structure of the summit include political, economic and humanitarian areas of cooperation.
“Within the framework of the relevant panel sessions, an in-depth consideration of the issues of ensuring food and energy security on the continent, investment, industrialization, development of the agro-industrial complex, and cooperation in the fields of education, healthcare, science, culture, media, and sports is planned,” the Russian ministry said.
