they have, this is like a motive ation and it comes from a here. they don't following scripts that talking from the heart. and that is why all the people with meeting here are all the international at this form us so interesting. none of them are holding back and i hope to you moment i'm going to go, we have the russian president, he gave us an update just a moment ago about stops and all my vehicles have been destroyed and the ongoing conflict. but who was an already addressed the guests to the plenary session with a huge range of issues of bilateral ties being you know, basically front incentive monitoring. they, they address. he's got some of the highlights right now. a lot of your opponent talked about how last year trades turnover between russia and the african continent rose to $80000000000.00, which was a whopping one 3rd. the also talked about how, despite the western sanctions, rushes scales supplying and is going to supply africa with food despite these western sanctions. he said that it's pretty hypocritical of the last to actually to accuse russia of trying of trying to threaten the world's food and security when

it's actually western sanctions that are making it more difficult for russian food to make it to the african continent. and this, of course, is in connection to the green deal, the fat, the reason president talked about how it's because the west did not fulfill it side of the bargain. essentially, the majority of grain exported on the scale that was supposed to go to need a needy countries. countries that need this food the most. it actually went to affluent western europe. he was supposed to have sanctions and restrictions on food exports removed as a result of their participation in this deal. this is something that did not happen . this is one of the main reasons why russia ended up suspending the agreement. and not only did the west, not remove the restrictions, but the russian president also talked about how it was actually made harder for russia to do not even self fertilizer to be in to mandatory and aid mission. so let's take a list to see a person uh no, just deal with the rush. i agreed to participate in the deal can st. images that to

be a legitimate obstacles to the supply of our grain and fertilizers to world markets wouldn't be removed. i want to tell you that above all, this is about helping the poorest countries. in fact, nothing happened from what we discussed. and what we were promised withdrawal of sanctions on the russian exports of green and fertilizers to world markets or full field to custom. none with the obstacles where its allies are as to the poorest countries in name and the fall of the 262000 costs of such fertilizers blocks, and you are being ports. only 2 batches were sent to 20000 tons in total to allow wheat and 34000 tons to kenya. the rest remains in the hands of the beatles with a lease, as despite the fact that it was a purely humanitarian action. which in principle should not be subject zabel to replace the cleaning grain both commercially and in the form of free assistance. the most near the african countries. moreover, the space year we can expect to record harvest monday in the next 3 for me,

of charge to work in the past. so seemed by the way, nally, somalia, central african republic, every tree at 25 to 50000 tons of green to beach. so we will also provide free delivery of these products on airport and also said that russia is determined to see that africa not only becomes completely fluid secure, but becomes a compliment that ends up. it's not only are connected to food that russia is looking to further cooperate with the african, consummate as well, and spoke about a number of current projects and future project ideas for cooperation in the spheres of energy, as well as if control the spread of contagious diseases on the african continent as well, but one thing of russian present also mentioned is that to achieve all of these goals and to continue the development of this usually beneficial part of the both parties involved me to start undergoing international transactions using national currencies. it initially if it,

if i do not see it isn't for him to vigorously switch to national current season, including trade transactions. just curious to embrace regard. we are ready to work with african countries to develop their financial infrastructure to connect the banking institutions to the financial messaging system created in russia, which makes it possible. she's a great cause border payments, independently of some of the western systems that exist to date and impose restrictions based will contribute to improving the city, but we can secure so can you show trace exchange is d e v that we will offer all african partners the least pop restrictions, theaters are asked, you know, i'm convinced that such a comprehensive operation will allow us to increase our quote, the civic ties would not be sure that the left sphere of proper to the maintenance of african sovereignty at the bottom are put and mentions that i wanna mention, as well as probably can students to study in the russian federation so that russia can share its expertise and knowledge with african experts. we're going to go back to their home countries and make them a better place. almost $35000.00 african students are now studying in the rough

expertise and the russian president promised that these quotas are going to be increasing uh, weight as time goes on and they already have been increasing significantly. so given all those areas of cooperation between russia and the applicant cons name, it looks like there's a bright future ahead of relations between those 2 parties. yeah, you know, just as doug was saying, right, that, i mean, absolutely well said going by the way, you know, these new strategic pine, but that, that growing, that maturing between russia and all of these different african nations here, the russia, africa, 2023 for him. here in the venice of the north and actually for the meantime, i'm joined by the uganda and youth member of parliament. and so no rugal minor, who's joining us. you want us to thank you very much for your finding me here. what do you think off the top of your head? i mean, not bad. i think this is very much enjoyable and most of the frequently gets we are very enthusiastic. very exciting. it is a lot of hope that is going to make this stuff, but um, actually the, the,

the african russian cooperation would be the best. forever and for a long time. yeah, really let's take the select a big enough for us. it comes tips generally, the youngest fits into want most of them over to the around 60 as i'm not, you know, 6 here i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm thinking enough to confuse like, 8 is, is to then to literally report it to college and the yeah, yeah. most of the states that the west of 200 you have them didn't you? are you sorry? the police who are the believe the western states are 200 yards on, on africa, or it has to move on when it looks like that one of the sees the only possible defend cease russia. russia is the one who comes then the front of these and say, hey, no, please don't do this, don't, don't, don't fight, then don't do this. so african looks trust you as a possible defendant, which is why this, the russia, african son because this, i mean, obviously you're absolutely right. it's and it's very important, but it's also,

should we say, ruffling some feathers, some professional partners in europe all the way across the blanket atlantic as well. we talking about what is being the established hedge. i'm on now for a long, long time say the global power mechanism to shifting in the world. and as you say, the younger countries that developing and then look into the future. and it's, it's an, you know, there's something in the air. yeah, there was a feeling, there's an energy, there's an optimism you could, you could, it's almost tangible to you coming from africa. you very much appreciate that roland russians play. one is supporting most of the states to strengthen them, to make sure that they can have continued stability. that is very important. today, the, the, the offer economy plus frontier rush off for helping all states become strong enough to make sure we house to build. but also because of this community, as, as a result of the support, most of the african lead us is just stick to see how deep can we go with the corporation to make sure our people can help gainful employment. how up with

security, how can we ensure that is transformed technology from russia to because we find russia as the most dr. watson and one that we can depend on the title is and you say that you say that, but any of our colleagues and in washington or in brussels along that, they're going to hear you say that. and they're gonna say all this guy is on a t, he's told he must have paid him to say this, but i mean, honestly, it is because they want to understand the needs, the needs of africa. they want them to fund the needs of a young lesson grow, you know, they need to be on the bus are now going enough. is to, to, to, to, to know that they, they, they would run to a southern country, get this, can you get the technology that they can use for that. but they don't want to hear about a country that has to for ropes in the country because they probably much more than that to, to them on the 8th of a bang. smith today with a comes from reliable, but we're not coming to a snap. i mean, to get into did and then later crush me or talk for the government because like 100 bucks a day, that's a different spot that they don't understand about of the very,

to a point. and i, you know, i've, i've, i've been eager to talk about this with you. i've actually been schmoozing, but add some look. okay, there's a story out there. it's been around for about 4 months now. now the story is, the uganda has discovered the world's biggest gold plus realism. i've read say it's worth between $12.13 trillion dollars, which some say is actually more than the amount of us dollars in cash in circulation around the world. do you know the story? well, i have had an implant and on several occasions that event, as one of the biggest go deepened under for that thought is grateful for for, for the gardens themselves. we are very much up above, but we also know what the outcomes we, what comes out of budget and button, or how'd you need to ship to, to make sure that the people been feed from such a go to people's it becomes tricky. and then sometimes it is the big written funding for the lead us for the country in deciding who should take us taking the solution. who should take more?

because in the end, if you do not adhere to these and say, maybe it's not on eastern countries in, based on a slide deck, some of that because it's really fun to write about china the china make because they've been trying to put a lot of contracts and you've got the infrastructure contracts, you know, roads and electricity wise. busy and you know, this ducking the of that, but is it possible, i mean, who i guess i shouldn't office, but i'm going to ask this who is going to have access to what is supposed to be allegedly the biggest gold mine in the world in uganda? well, i think really the shape of the country, the be on the way the process of an april shifting will should be. we should take this talk in the school. we should be take the biggest percentage of a switch from doc safety if we should maintenance. but i also presented one thing that the president put in readiness, which today is going to wait to be technical skews to offer guns through vocational training to make sure the africans have the knowledge on how to access their own resources. and that was a very important point. yeah. and they felt interesting the journey. it's about as
