Russian Presidential Aide Yury
Ushakov on 27 September chaired the first meeting of the Organizing Committee in
charge of preparing for and holding the 2nd Russia—Africa Summit and other events in the Russia—Africa format in St. Petersburg in summer 2023. The
meeting was attended by representatives of key ministries, departments,
government agencies, and business associations.
The decision to regularly hold
Russian-African meetings in this format was taken during the first Russia—Africa
Summit in Sochi in 2019. The upcoming summit aims to provide a new constructive
impetus to the development of Russia’s multifaceted relations with African countries
and bolster the policy of a comprehensive and equal partnership with the
African people.
