Russia’s state agency for the export of a range of defense and dual-use products, services and technologies - Rosoboronexport - aims to present a wide range of Russian security solutions to African countries, covering counterterrorism, cyber threats, border security, and more.
Alexander Mikheev, Director General of Rosoboronexport, emphasized the importance of the upcoming summit in strengthening cooperation. Since the first summit, the company has signed over 150 contracts with African partners, increasing its order book by over $10 billion, and expanded its presence in five new countries on the continent.
"Rosoboronexport's mission at the Second Russia-Africa Summit is to elaborate concepts for addressing the main challenges to the global African security architecture, together with delegations from more than 30 countries of the continent that have arrived in St. Petersburg. The company will demonstrate tools developed and tested in Russia to counter terrorism, organized crime, cyber threats, protect the constitutional system and public order, provide border and critical facilities security and surveillance," he noted.
The company's exhibits will be divided into thematic zones showcasing counterterrorism equipment, smart digital technologies, and military, dual-use and civilian products designed to address various security threats in Africa.
