Mr Minister,
Friends,
We are delighted to welcome you to Sochi to participate in the First Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum. This conference has been convened following the decision made at the Russia-Africa Summit in 2023 in St Petersburg, where President of Russia Vladimir Putin met with President of Cameroon Paul Biya.
We are determined to expand our contacts in all areas, both for bilateral projects in trade, the economy, education and humanitarian sphere, and for our regular consultations on the African agenda and global issues discussed at the United Nations.
We are glad to see you. We take this opportunity to engage in further discussions on current issues that require additional attention.
