Russia’s President Putin expresses greeting on African Day

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin expressed his heartfelt greetings to African heads of state and government on Africa Day, in a statement on Sunday.

“Over the past decades, independent African states have firmly established themselves as respected members of the international community, achieving notable progress in both economic and social development. Multilateral cooperation at the African Union and various subregional organisations helps enhance peace, security, and stability across the continent,” Putin Said.

“Russia has consistently advocated for deepening its traditionally friendly ties with African partners. This commitment was clearly demonstrated at the Russia–Africa summits held in 2019 and 2023, which opened new avenues for cooperation and fostered greater alignment on key international issues.” he added.

“The Ministerial Conference of the Russia–Africa Partnership Forum is a new dialogue platform that yields positive results as well. The next meeting of this format is scheduled to take place in one of the African countries later this year,” he added in a statement.

“I am confident that through our joint efforts, we will continue to broaden the scope of Russia–Africa relations, advancing the wellbeing of our peoples and contributing to the emergence of a just and democratic multipolar world order,” Putin further stated. (Forelines)
