🌍 On May 25, the world celebrates #AfricaDay.
On this day in 1963, exactly 60 years ago, African governments convened in Addis Ababa for the first conference which laid the foundation for the creation of the Organisation of African Unity.
🇷🇺 Russia and Africa are united by traditional bonds of friendship, and it is symbolic that this anniversary year we are holding the second #RussiaAfrica Summit.
🤝 The Soviet Union supported the African countries in their fight for independence and played an important role in the development of the young countries on the continent. Soviet military advisers worked in Africa and military specialists have served in Angola, Ethiopia, Egypt, Mozambique and other African countries at various times.
🤝 Under pressure from the Soviet Union, the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples was adopted, which declared the need to end colonialism and any other form of discrimination.
❌ The Western powers are not just continuing to exploit the African nations, pumping out resources while counting corporate profits, but they have also been cleaning up their own ugly past.
The falsification of history is also about the cynical unpublished campaign to hush up the horrors of the colonial era. The West is trying to pretend that the suffering that many generations of Africans have gone through, as well as racism, the slave trade, murders and punitive operations, had nothing to do with them
A quickly made-up story about “events” aimed to highlight white people of the West’s concern for people of colour has been planted, but in fact, this is nothing more than a flashmob with no deep realisation of the harm. On the contrary, the ideology of a “beautiful garden” and a “wild jungle” is being promoted.
There is the pretence that everything that took place back then, in the colonial era, seemed to have happened and at the same time not to have happened at all.
☝️ Yet Africa remembers.

📰 Article by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin «Russia and Africa: Joining Efforts for Peace, Progress and a Successful Future» (July 24, 2023)
Read in full (PDF)
Key points:
• The partnership relations between our country and Africa have strong, deep roots being distinguished by stability, trust and goodwill at all times.
• We have consistently supported African peoples in their struggle for liberation from colonial oppression. We have provided assistance in the formation of statehood, strengthening of sovereignty and defence capabilities.
• We highly value the honestly gained capital of friendship and cooperation, traditions of trust and mutual support that Russia and African countries share.
🌍 Russia welcomes the rising international authority of individual states as well as Africa as a whole. Their desire to make their voices strongly heard and to take the continent's problems into their own hands. We have always supported the constructive initiatives of our partners. We stand for granting African countries their rightful place in the structures that determine the fate of the world, including the UN Security Council and the G20, as well as reforming the global financial and trade institutions in a way that meets their interests.
• Africa feels the burden of global challenges like no other part of the world. In such a challenging environment, we look forward to working with our African partners to shape a non-discriminatory agenda for cooperation.
• We understand the importance of uninterrupted food supplies for the socio-economic development and political stability of the African States. <...> Notwithstanding the sanctions, Russia will continue its energetic efforts to provide supplies of grain, food products, fertilizers, and other goods to Africa.
🤝 We attach great importance to the upcoming Second #RussiaAfrica Summit. <...> I am looking forward to welcoming the African leaders in St. Petersburg and stand committed to a fruitful constructive dialogue.

⚡️ Comment of the Russian Ambassador to Egypt Georgiy Borisenko to MENA on participation of the Egyptian President in the Second Russia-Africa Summit in St.Petersburg:
💬 There is no doubt that H.E. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is always a guest of honor in Russia and he will be warmly welcomed by Vladimir Putin. Both leaders are connected not only with long history of mutually beneficial partnership, but with deep-rooted personal friendship.
🇷🇺🇪🇬We expect that negotiations on the highest level will give renewed impetus to cooperation between our countries in various fields, particularly because this year we celebrate the 80th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations.
🫂It is especially important that the Egyptian delegation will be headed by President Sisi, who co-chaired the first summit. Taking into account Cairo’s experience of cooperation with African countries and its incontestable reputation in the region, partners made a decisive contribution to the success of the Sochi Summit.

✍️ Article for "Ahram online" by the Russian Ambassador to Egypt Georgiy Borisenko under the title "Welcome to Russia!":
🔹️It is gratifying that Egypt will be represented on the Russia-Africa Summit by one of the largest delegations comprised of key politicians, leaders of business and mass media, and distinguished public figures.
🔹️Such a wide representation is no coincidence. Egypt has always been an essential political and economic partner for Russia in Africa. It is hard to overestimate our cultural and people-to-people ties. Moreover, it is a great honour for us to welcome our Egyptian friends in Saint Petersburg because it was your country and personally His Excellency President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi.
🔹️Historically cultural and humanitarian ties are the basis of such friendly relations between the people of the two countries.
🔹️We hope that our Egyptian friends, who are about to visit the Russian northern capital will enjoy its rich culture and unique beauty.

🇷🇺🇪🇬 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.

🎙 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.
