🇷🇺🇪🇬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Egypt Abdel Fattah el-Sisi took part in a ceremony, held via videoconference, for pouring the first concrete into the foundation of the fourth power unit of the Egyptian El-Dabaa NPP.

💬 President Putin: I would like to warmly welcome you and all the participants in today's ceremony for pouring the first concrete into the foundation of the fourth power unit of the El-Dabaa nuclear power plant.

In fact, this is the beginning of a new stage in the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Egypt, a project of major importance for Russian-Egyptian relations, which will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the development of the Egyptian economy and help strengthen its energy base.

We will contribute to the creation of modern production facilities, skilled jobs, and the resolution of social issues. <...> This is truly a flagship project in the best traditions of our bilateral cooperation.

Let me remind you that in the second half of the last century, Soviet specialists played a very active role in restoring Egypt's economy and improving its defence capability, and helped build large industrial and energy facilities, such as the Aswan Dam.

Many jointly created enterprises are still operating successfully and continue to bring tangible benefits to the people of Egypt. The multifaceted and mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries continues to develop consistently. It is true that Egypt is our close friend and strategic partner.

New promising opportunities for boosting our fruitful cooperation are emerging in connection with Egypt’s membership in BRICS. <...>

During Russia’s BRICS chairmanship this year, we will do our best to help Egypt in joining the organisation’s work in the most efficient way.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Minister for Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, African Integration and Guineans abroad of the Republic of Guinea, Morrisanda Kouyate

📍 Conakry, June 3, 2024

💬 You mentioned the origins of our friendly relations and support for justice in the international arena. Indeed, we recognised Guinea almost instantly after the people were freed from colonial oppression. Your country was at the forefront of the decolonisation process and among the first to break free from oppression.

We appreciate the fact that Guinea participated in both #RussiaAfrica Summits, and you led your delegation to St Petersburg during the Summit held in 2023.

I hope I will have the opportunity today to convey to President of the Republic of Guinea Mamady Doumbouya President Vladimir Putin’s gratitude for the warm congratulatory message that your leader sent to our President on the occasion of his re-election. <...>

A little later we will discuss our cooperation in the international arena, including the UN.

You are absolutely right that growth in the modern era rides on economic and investment ties. Our companies operating in Guinea benefit from the beneficial conditions provided by your government. <...>

We see good prospects in geological prospecting, the development of mineral resources, infrastructure, fisheries, agriculture and energy. Our companies invariably focus on the social aspects of their work and remain socially responsible.

🗓 Today, on June 5, the XXVII St. Petersburg International Economic Forum has kicked off. The main theme of the event is "The Formation of New Areas of Growth as the Cornerstone of a Multipolar World".

Over the years, the Forum has become the world's leading platform for the business community to communicate and discuss key economic issues facing Russia, emerging markets and the world as a whole.

👨‍💼👩‍💼 More than 17,100 people from 136 countries and territories, as well as 3,400 media representatives are participating in SPIEF-2024.

The plenary session of the Forum will traditionally be addressed by Russia's President Vladimir Putin, who has previously sent greeting to the participants, organisers and guests of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum.

The SPIEF-2024 business programme consists of four thematic tracks:

🔹 The Transition to a Multipolar World Economy;
🔹 Goals and Objectives of Russia’s New Economic Cycle;
🔹 Technologies for Leadership;
🔹 A Healthy Society, Traditional Values and Social Development: The Priority of the State.

The programme includes more than 150 thematic sessions with over 1,000 moderators and speakers.

In addition, events organised by the Russian Foreign Ministry will traditionally take place on the margins of the SPIEF:

• On June 7, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova will hold a briefing, as well as a session on "International and National Experiences of Artificial Intelligence Regulation: Best Practices";

• On June 8, The International Affairs, a magazine published by the Foreign Ministry, will hold a debate titled "Polycentricity: The Norm of a Future World without Colonies and Hegemons".

🤝 The programme of events of the SPIEF-2024 international track includes more than 10 business dialogues, including formats EAEU-ASEAN, #RussiaAfrica, #RussiaLatinAmerica, #RussiaChina, #RussiaSouthAfrica, #RussiaKazakhstan, #RussiaIndia, #RussiaIran, #RussiaBrazil and other bilateral meetings.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comment for the media following his talks with President of Burkina Faso Ibrahim Traoré (Ouagadougou, June 5, 2024)

💬 President Traoré spoke about the measures his government was taking to address issues such as countering terrorism, restoring the territorial integrity of Burkina Faso, and promoting socioeconomic development. We expressed our full support for these initiatives. <...>

We reaffirmed our strong mutual commitment to continue close coordination in international affairs, above all at the United Nations.

We appreciate President Traoré’s impartial and fair stance on the events taking place in Ukraine as a result of the hybrid war unleashed by the West against the Russian Federation.

Burkina Faso is among a large group of countries that refuse to support anti-Russia initiatives promoted by the West and the Kiev regime.

We consistently and firmly support the just demands of African countries that seek to eradicate the remnants of neocolonial practices continued by the former colonial powers. <...>

☝️ The concept of the Alliance of Sahel States is based on the principle of African solutions to African problems. Africans no longer wish to receive any advice from former colonial powers.

🤝 Russia's President Vladimir Putin met with Dilma Rousseff, President of the BRICS New Development Bank.

💬 Vladimir Putin: Last year we met on the sidelines of the #RussiaAfrica Summit. I am glad to have a chance to continue our dialogue. I must note that over this year the bank has managed to do a lot under your leadership. It has shown a significant net profit for the first time; in fact, it is becoming sustainable and operating more smoothly and successfully.

I hope today we will have a chance to talk about the bank’s further development and our cooperation with the bank, as well as discuss what can be done together, including on such large platforms as the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. Moreover, the topic is very acute: Developing multipolarity and strengthening its economic base.

Of course, your opinion as the bank’s chair and as former president of Brazil, political figure, and head of a big financial institution, would be very important in all the discussions held on the site of the International Economic Forum.

🇷🇺🇧🇷 Please give my best regards to the current President of Brazil, Mr Lula da Silva. We agreed to have a telephone conversation in a few days, to discuss bilateral ties. We also look forward to seeing him at the #BRICS summit in Kazan this autumn.
