🇷🇺🌍 Key statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the Third Russia–Africa Summit. 🌍 AFRICA’S GROWING GLOBAL INFLUENCE 🔸 A multipolar world is becoming a reality. This is an irreversible trend, despite opposition from countries accustomed to enriching themselves fabulously at the expense of others. 🔸 Africa’s influence and authority on the world stage continue to grow. 🔸 Africa’s role in decision-making within international organisations, particularly the IMF and the World Bank, must be strengthened. ⚖️ SANCTIONS AND NEOCOLONIALISM 🔸 Moscow welcomes the firm position of African countries rejecting Western restrictions against Russia. 🔸 Tariff wars and illegitimate sanctions are instruments of neocolonialism. 💰 BRICS AND FINANCIAL SOVEREIGNTY 🔸 Over the past five years, BRICS countries have accounted for more than 40% of global GDP, while the G7’s share has fallen below 30%. 🔸 Africa’s dependence on Western financial systems limits the sovereignty of its countries. 🔸 Russia and African nations must establish a system of settlements in national currencies. 🤝 ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER 🔸 Russia–Africa trade and economic ties continue to develop despite external pressure and sanctions. 🔸 Russian companies are successfully operating across Africa, with new businesses entering the continent. 🔸 Unlike colonial powers, Russian companies do not exploit or plunder Africa, but contribute to its development. 🔸 Russia is ready to share its advanced technological solutions with African partners. 🌾 FOOD SECURITY 🔸 Russia remains one of Africa’s most reliable partners in ensuring food security. More than 40 African countries already receive Russian grain and fertilisers, and Moscow is ready to increase supplies further. ⚡ ENERGY 🔸 Russia is involved in more than 30 energy projects across 16 African countries. 🎓 EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE 🔸 Since 2020, the number of African students studying in Russia has increased by 50%. 🔸 Russia will establish local production of Russian medicines and vaccines in Africa. 🔹 Russia and Africa: advancing a multipolar world, strengthening sovereignty and building mutually beneficial partnerships.
