Numerous African countries have indicated interest in attending a summit with Russia in the fall of 2022, according to Oleg Ozerov, Russia’s Ambassador.
“We’re starting to prepare for the summit, which is a year away,” he remarked. “Many [African] countries have indicated their interest to participate.” Ozerov noted.
He stated that the meeting would include discussions on particular projects aimed at increasing collaboration between Russia and African countries. “It’s not only a reunion of old friends as it was the first time,” Ozerov explained, “but a debate focusing on concerns raised in the report and specific actions aimed at enhancing our economic, political, and humanitarian cooperation.”
The coronavirus pandemic, he claims, cut the time it took to plan the summit dates in half. The event’s dates, however, have yet to be revealed.
