8:16 am
that. you have it right that live on our team to national the russian president vladimir putin. speaking of the 2nd annual russia, africa summit happening today here in moscow. let's run down just a couple of comments that from the russian president because he did touch across the spectrum of issues and very very pony and poignant issues. i just say and very straight speaking as well. basically put in saying the fact that over 40 african nations are here today at moscow, really. so the significance of this summit and the emerging multi polar world put in saying many african countries are still dealing with colonialism and racism, russia. and previously the ussr maintained long term friendly ties with a continent, a rusher is bringing nuclear energy to africa. and as i said, all the countries on the continent are looking towards multi polar, well, they want to work with other countries on the basis of respect and peaceful prosperity and russia, according to prudent,
8:17 am
is ready to work together to stabilize and enforce independence and sovereignty acr the african continent, members of the multi polar world as putting, we're saying moving towards using national currencies in trade, securing the economic dependence essentially by turning that back on the u. s. dollar. meantime, many russian companies are investing billions in africa right now. and as putin said, moscow was always happy to share its technology. a couple of very interesting points, the russian president did say, moscow continues to fulfill all obligations to the commitment of pitt, can you say, particularly with food and energy security? for example, putin said with russia's assets are frozen in europe. for example, cargo ships of fertilizer. putin says he's ready to hand that all over to africa for free. the only problem it in between that is essentially russian boats are being blocked from docking of certain ports and certain ports of being sanctioned
8:18 am
by western partners to stop these russian assets like fertilizer and food. getting to africa. more details about this right now at r t dot com for the meantime. we are back in just a 2nd. ah, so not just the africa summit here in moscow, but also that of the chinese president gigi ping. touching down a couple of hours ago here at moscow, and he is heading off a one on one told, with russia as president, they're going to be discussing forging ties. and essentially, what is what all the people around the world are talking about right now, that is a road map to the multi polar world and details right now with donald, coca teaching ping as arrived for his highly anticipated visit with russian president vladimir putin here, which is expected to, to, to start around 4 30 pm moscow time,
8:19 am
according to the kremlin spokesperson. dmitri pascall with his welcome ceremony, are scheduled for 3 pm. moscow time signs have been set up across the highway, into the city, welcoming the chinese president to russia. as this is his 1st trip abroad, since he was reelected and he really set the tone for this meeting in an article he published before this visit, he said that the world is going through tremendous changes the likes of which we have not seen for at least a century, he said that the tendencies that the world is seeing right now towards multi polarity and mutual cooperation are irreversible and greater democracy as well. he said the international community has not recognized any say, any one system, any one country as superior over another. so we also saw another article written by vladimir putin actually, which basically played to the same tune, but latimer couldn't focus a lot on how the united states has been trying to dominate the world. and he
8:20 am
criticized that quite a bit. let's take a look at what they said, mature and stable bilateral ties are constantly gaining you strength, and serve as a benchmark for a new type of interstate relation. characterized by mutual respects, peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial corporation. unlike some countries, the claim had yamani and bring discourse to world harmony. russia and china are literally and figuratively building bridges. russian chinese relations are an example of harmonious and creative co operation. between major powers is a press conference expected at the, at the end of this a 2 day set of meetings because they are going to be meeting over the span of 2 days. the 1st day is going to be mostly informal meetings between choosing ping and vladimir putin where they will be discussing business. but of course they are also personal friends. so they, she think pink specifically has said he's really looking forward to that. but on
8:21 am
the 2nd day, we are expected to see an official statement come out for the media in terms of the takeaways from these talks, because again, they're expected to talk about a lot of topics. the main one obviously has to do with the ukraine conflict because china has said that it's looking to take a constructive role in regulating the ukraine conflict and perhaps contributing to the construct to the organization of some sort of piece plan. the chinese foreign ministry even said that this meeting between changing paying and vladimir putin is going to be a meeting of peace. so that's the main thing that is going to be the on the agenda according to reports. but there's also, of course, a lot of other things connected to the strategic partnership that china and russia have enjoyed. obviously, china is russia's most significant strategic partner on the world stage. they have a lot of economic deals together and there are thinking of only signing off on more a number of bilateral agreements are already expected to be signed between the 2
8:22 am
leaders as well. and simply, they want all of this to contribute to a further deepening of the sort of a relationship based on mutual cooperation, peaceful coexistence and mutual respect that both countries have enjoyed. for decades, india has increased its rice, exposed to africa, help the continent cope with devastating food shortages. so over now to water correspondent roon jones sharma and india and polo. and david in nigeria bringing us this a joint story of rising cooperation. oh, over the years my julius have enjoyed rice from india, particularly the buzz mattie rice. but although the government has put in place measures to reduce importation and encourage local rise, production sell us the india rise. see my german flava phone varieties cannot be questioned. rise is,
