🇷🇺🤝🌍 On 28 October the Third Russia-Africa Summit and Economic and Humanitarian Forum kicked off in Moscow. This year, 48 African nations are participating in the event, 22 of which are represented by heads of state. The event is a trusted platform for finding practical ways to deepen the partnership between Russia and Africa. Alongside government officials, it brings together international organisations, business leaders, financial institutions, and Russian and African scientific and expert communities. As in previous years, open discussions will focus on the key issues in Russia–Africa cooperation: trade, investment, nuclear energy, payment systems, digitalisation and food security.
