Dazzling Diversity: Catch the Stunning Outfits of Russia-Africa Forum 2023

Subscribe
On 27-28 July, St. Petersburg welcomed African leaders willing to participate in this summer's major economic and humanitarian events. The Russia-Africa Summit 2023 and Economic and Humanitarian Forum have proven to be the true embodiment of cultural diversity reflected in various beautiful costumes worn by the attendees.
Diversity has once again triumphed over the one-sided, hegemonic American world order, which was illustrated by both the variety of countries participating in the 2023 Russia-Africa Summit and Economic and Humanitarian Forum and their marvelous national costumes.
Brushing off the enormous pressure coming from the West against African leaders, the guests once again demonstrated their courage in standing up for their sovereignty and independent national development.
Unlike the West, Russia has always supported multilateral cooperation with all the countries interested. Russia has never indulged in a policy of hypocritical double standards that the US and the EU push. As a multinational state, Russia cherishes cultural and religious diversity both at home and around the world, suggesting that various traditions can exist peacefully, without conflict.
