🎙 Opening remarks by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at a working breakfast with the Foreign Ministers of African countries (Moscow, October 28, 2026) 💬 Sergey Lavrov: I am very pleased to see you all and to welcome you to Moscow for this meeting of Foreign Ministers on the sidelines of the Third Russia–Africa Summit. We know that some of our African friends were actively discouraged [by the West] from travelling to Russia through political pressure, blackmail and threats to scale back assistance programmes. There were even fake reports. I read that there was supposedly an “outbreak of plague” in our country and that people should not travel here. 🤝 We are truly pleased that, despite these unscrupulous manipulations by the West, the overwhelming majority of our friends have come to the Summit and are taking a very active part in its work. Today, Africa is experiencing what we call a second awakening. In the 1960s, when the decolonisation process began, with our country playing a very active role, the primary goal was political independence. Today, having achieved political independence, Africans want to secure economic, energy and financial sovereignty. ❗️ Russia will always be an ally of African countries on this path. We are ready to continue sharing Russian expertise and helping strengthen your independence and sovereignty. This is an objective historical trend towards the emergence of a #MultipolarWorld. The expansion of our diplomatic presence on the continent reflects Africa’s importance to Russian foreign policy. Since the previous Summit in 2023, eight more Russian embassies have opened, bringing the total in the region to 4️⃣8️⃣. We are pleased to see reciprocal steps by our African friends, who are also interested in opening diplomatic missions in Moscow. We are doing everything we can to facilitate this. Today, I suggest that we exchange views on the most pressing international and regional issues that significantly affect the global situation, including our cooperation with our African friends.

🎙 Address by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the Plenary Session of the Russia–Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum (Moscow, October 28, 2026) Key points: • The Russia–Africa Forum, its agenda and participants, and its free and open dialogue fit naturally into the global transformation, the scale and depth of which can hardly be overstated. We are witnessing a #MultipolarWorld truly becoming a reality, and this trend is objective and irreversible. • The era when the destinies of entire continents were determined by a narrow bloc of states is coming to an irrevocable end. A fairer world is taking its place, one in which the voices of all countries participating in international affairs must be heard. New centres of global governance are emerging, becoming focal points for reshaping the world order. • Over the past five years, the #BRICS countries have accounted for more than 40% of global GDP, while the G7’s contribution has been less than 30%. There is no doubt that this balance will continue to shift in favour of developing countries. • Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the poles of the global economy and politics. The continent is experiencing a new awakening: its sovereignty is growing stronger, and its influence and standing on the world stage are increasing. Above all, Africans have an unshakeable determination to defend their interests and a desire to shape their own future and choose their own path of development. 💬 Let me recall the words of Thomas Sankara, a great son of the Burkinabe people, the first President of Burkina Faso: Debt is neo-colonialism, in which colonizers have transformed themselves into “technical assistants”. Under its current form, controlled and dominated by imperialism, debt is a skillfully managed reconquest of Africa, intended to subjugate its growth and development through foreign rules. • It is no coincidence that Africa is called the continent of the future. According to UN projections, from 2030 onwards, the centre of global population growth will inevitably shift to Africa – a process that is already under way. By 2050, its population will exceed 2.5 billion, around 70% of whom will be young people under the age of 30. • Russia is one of the most reliable guarantors of food security on the African continent. More than 40 African countries already receive Russian fertilisers and grain. We stand ready to further expand the geographical reach of our agricultural supplies. In the first nine months of 2026, Russia exported 13 million tonnes of agricultural products to Africa. • Russia firmly maintains a leading position in the global race for technological sovereignty. I would like to emphasise that our country is ready to share its advanced expertise and high-tech digital know-how with our African friends. • Our shared interest lies in improving Africans’ access to affordable, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources and helping develop domestic energy markets in Africa, including in areas where Russia possesses unique technologies. This work is already under way. More than 30 promising energy projects are being jointly implemented in 16 African countries. • Since 2020, the number of African students studying in Russia has increased by 50%, while the number of Russian scholarships for Africa has almost tripled. A record number of citizens of African countries – around 40,000 – are studying at Russian universities. For the 2026-2027 academic year, the scholarship quota has been increased to 5,500 places. ❗️ Russia is sincerely interested in further developing and deepening trade, economic and humanitarian cooperation with all African countries in every possible way.
