03:08 GMT 27.01.2023 (Updated: 07:45 GMT 27.01.2023) MASSAWA (Sputnik) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday, responding to Sputnik's question, that Western media have been distorting facts while covering his tour across Sub-Saharan Africa.
"In South Africa, in Angola, and Eswatini, there were media representatives who blatantly represented the information interests of the West," Lavrov told journalists after talks in Eritrea, answering a question from Sputnik.
"There have been attempts to cover our visits in a twisted, distorted way, rendering the image that the American and European media are trying to show."
This week, Lavrov visited South Africa, Eswatini, and Angola as a part of his tour across Sub-Saharan Africa; Eritrea is the final destination of the foreign minister's tour.
Lavrov is expected to hold talks with Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki and Foreign Minister Osman Saleh Mohammed.
