offered our things and we have spoken about the longstanding relationship between our countries and russia, who's been in africa for decades lives. and then we know that it is during the most difficult times when you know who your true friends are. and russia stood with us during the most difficult times during the times of slavery. and during the times of apartheid, russia has always been helping us. it was one of the 1st countries to provide itself with fighting the gets colonialism of apartheid and slavery. and so for many centuries, we've had good relations and i think these relations are going to develop. but this is the time to get a new impetus to our relations. just going to strive forward. we export our raw materials and these raw materials after having been processed, get back to our countries and we have to pay more for the. so we know that russia can help us with addressing this issue that russia has expressed its willingness in that regard and rushes already doing that and are referred to the process of industrialization to agriculture, all the energy. so i reiterate,

i think our success is assured, and we are satisfied with the outcomes of these meetings. we live in a unified world in the interconnected world. so what we advocate is nafrica being part of the organizations that make the decisions. so we live in a multi polar world to do about the, to the program college. and i'd like to learn more about exactly what kind of comments were being made. all these don't know quoted. now joining us here, of course, i don't know if you've been a all over this russia, africa summit here in st. petersburg. in fact, you've really been on the front lines and i know that you've, you've probably got some very good stories to tell whether or not you're allowed to tell them. well, that's to be the tell them and what are some of the takeaways and real president food and, but also the head of the african union had to say such a short time ago over a lot of our put and opened up his statement alongside the african union leader by saying that he was impressed by how productive the top set this years russia, africa summit have been. he said that the african continent has shown great

interest in continuing to develop warm relations and trade turnover between the african continent and the russian federation. and that's really demonstrated by the fact that the vast majority of countries on the african continent participated in this summit in this to day summit that's been taking place here in saint petersburg . now he also talked about a number of spheres in which the of the african continent and the russian federation are looking to further development in the future. specifically focusing on the struggle against terrorism on the african continent as well as cooperating in humanitarian areas as well. and he said that one of the main vehicles that is going to be used in further developing this kind of cooperation is going to be the african union. this multinational african organization through which a lot of humanitarian work and trade deals can be done. and of course, one of the biggest subjects when it comes to trade deals is russian export of rain

. so the confidence which russia is trying to increase and has increased over the last year despite western sanctions that have been making it quite difficult. and the russian president also wanted to say, he also said that these international transactions for the expansion of the multiple or world have to be made in national currency. let's take a listen to what he said. it's so free to catch assuming that you can interest to them, that i see the target, these 2 quantities of lead and quantitative lee increasing mutual trade then improve its structure, which we're also talking about consistently switching to national currencies, including durable and financial settlements, eliminate trade barriers including by linking integration processes within the region, economic union and the african union, and its free trade area to, to increase exports to fit gold rush and industrial products, which enjoy a good reputation on the continent. including machinery, equipments, v goals, goals and fertilizers are comfortable continued to supply crops to our african

friends both on a contract basis and free of charge. so there's a work and as someone continues, but even now i would like to think all of our african colleagues for accepting our invitation to go to st. petersburg and that russia is sincerely trying to build truly strategic remove the facets relations, and partnership with africa. and we see the same attitude to act together on the part about african friends. i think it certainly is that of course, like i mentioned earlier, grain has been a big topic of discussion and that's been discussed throughout the russia, africa summit this year. but it's so important to understand that there are so many other spheres of cooperation that are rapidly developing as well. and the russian president also briefly went over a number of them, like uh, the sphere of culture, the spirit of health care. because russia has been doing a lot for that to help the african confident come back the potential spread of epidemics as well. and what am i putting you even said that they have a number of documents lined up to

a significant lee increased industrial cooperation and energy cooperation between the russian continent, the russian federation, and the african continent. and on top of that, of course, one of a, another sphere of cooperation is education. this is something that not only vladimir putin has been talking about, but russian officials throughout this time in the fact that russia is always open to african students. looking to come to the russian federation to learn new skills to benefit from russian expertise and all sorts of areas so that they can bring that expertise back to their home countries and makes them a better place and, and build their future essentially. so there's so much going on right now as we saw from the russia, africa summit in terms of developing cooperation between these 2 countries that are between the consummate and the russian federation. it's really going to be amazing to see what have for cuz going to look like in the next say, 10 or 20 years. yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. so,

and i think that's perfectly well said, i appreciate your coverage here for the past couple of days of this, russia, i forgot conference and, and you're absolutely right. appreciate it on thank you very much for that as don't was saying are the presidents of all these african nations. and of course, the president of russia, they've all been very optimistic and very positive about this a 2 day conference here in st. petersburg. let's listen in on here, some of the company that focusing to shift the african african people shouldn't be pop ups. we need to ensure the self sufficiency of our people and countries want to know the b rush. it has always respected our sovereignty. the bricks, countries are a hope for us. they will help to fight western domination, not a part of the because it is included in us. usually it is important to inform the security council true is used in equity towards all african countries. that's how notes represented in this organization. i think we need a more or less yeah, of the subject of this vision. so some is,

this summit is smart by the spirit of cooperation and partnership. again. why must, i must apologize. forgive me please. i'm going to give you a couple of notes here, some highlights from my time off i well, these technology, what can you do? i wanted to give you some of the comments here from some of the guys that occasions bertino fi, so says african people should not be puppets. molly says the bricks, countries are a hope for us. and molly says the bricks will help to fight what they call western domination, south africa says rusher africa and the whole stomach plays a key role in growth and prosperity. so bob boyd says, we need more summits like this. and mozambique says it's important that african countries receive permanent memberships at the united nations security council kind of ruined the same time. so we enjoyed the summit, central african republic cheese. we really enjoyed ourselves. and of course, to come over an island, talking about the historical ties between the russian federation, the soviet union,

and so many different african nations ofa recent decades. now just a bit earlier in this program here i was speaking with natalie. yeah, she's a come a rudy and swiss active as an a business woman. she said, wow, that's a good deals with professional partners in the west. it's clear that some of those are a little bit upset that african states are building relations with russia. we are dealing with the west and we are in a period with the gemini, of the west is question any challenge. and that everybody's trying to put a hand on africa because the one of the next big thing. absolutely. and you know, it's diplomacy if you see heads of states coming with the, the a mad when, when africa is not voting the way they want to you when they are mad, when the people that have those states come here and negotiate. so, i hope when, when partnerships with, with russia, you must to be friendly with russia that's,

that's what we're getting from our professional partners. and so in the western countries, they don't want that. i mean, they want russian to be isolate which is, which is funny. if we look back to history, i meant it was this time where russia was the savior and now is the enemy. but i think the western world must understand that we, we have our own nightmare so we don't buy them nightmares. we, we have, we have and that is totally cool. relationship of friendship with russia in africa, when our full, by the way, i fighting for independence. russia was helping us. that's right. i mean, it goes back to the soviet union, even, even before that, it was the 1st african nation for russia to develop diplomatic ties. we thought we went over a 100 years ago, natalie. i know, and you use that. you use the word you, you use the word enemy in the same sentence as russia, and i think there's a, a western narrative that it, but it's very, russo phobic. i even say some of it,

i got, i categorized some of it as, as hate speech. to be honest with you, you've hate speak and do the information. it's fake news that you go if you, if you studied in germany as to the political science and i was teach some stuff. and now, 1520 years later, you come and tell a completely different than that, right? even trying to, to shape the past in the we see you except when i buy it. well, the russian deputy prime minister alexi over ciocca who i have the pleasure of speaking with sonya here in the studio here. now he says that africa with its growing population and g d, p is a promising market with which russia is developing connections, have a blessed a, a lot of movement going on here. there are a lot of very deep discussions and things are happening. if you look at what the government is doing to provide access for producers from the russian federation

to the markets in the global shells. in the construction of the norse cells, core door front wall next to the persian. from the persian gulf, it takes us to africa, it takes us to india, obviously, africa, with this fast growing population and out the g d. p level higher than every world's average. that's a, that's a very promising markets, right? certainly our business community is very much interested and our job is to support them. right. when you talk about the north south card or, you know it's, it's, it's unassigned, it might even be potentially linked to the chinese one belt one road. and it should say if it is essentially a contemporary martin and a silk road, and this is, you know, this is going to be another game changer in the, well, the thing is us and absolutely game changer. and you have to, if you look at history, probably it is for the 1st on, in the modern history of mankind when we're able to build the in lens trade routes

. do you see there are a number of these growing countries who want diversifying away from essentially the us? well, we use dollar has performed as a currency, the suited everybody before the us government started is optimizing us dollar. and if it for you, for that probably you can still see the us dollars on a form of exchange. and unfortunately, their politics are pushing everybody to those finding new ways. but that's, that's also a good way to uh, find the new partners new links and to have a more secure trade. just have more secure trade between countries. and we're seeing this in the region. we're seeing this in africa, different nations that are trying to use their national currencies to establish

trades as portrayed between their countries, which is safer among the many guests. so we have here at the, off the international studios in saint petersburg at the for him was the russian of foreign ministry spokesman. maria's a hot of a. she took some time out of a busy schedule to join us here. and when we had a really good the answer back and forth and, and then she zeroed in on the car and the state, all of us leadership have a listen for yourself. as you say, when you talk about dividing white house and, and you know, what do they have to offer it? and the mind clearly he's, he's having some issues president might and he is. and goodness knows if he doesn't know i what do you mean by he's having issues as well? that's, that's a polite way of saying it perhaps. so you're trying to be politically correct. why? well, because well, okay, should i, should i be stressed about it? i mean, shall i say that he's, he's clearly quite old. he's, he perhaps needs his, if i take there's some really different supplies. if you want people to wake up and

if you think that it's important for people to wake up from the stream, you need to see things as they are. it's not just about his age. an old person could be very wise and young people and good physical shape can be stupid. so age is not the main cause of things. we just need to listen to him and we see a person who's reaction to questions is inadequate. or sometimes he does not react to the questions. he's confused, confused as people mixes them up. so basically his brain cannot process reality adequately. yeah, one of the things i missed a lot of a said to me i during back in full time. so she basically said to me, boy, a to diplomatic with your job, she said, rory, you need to be more of a strong. it shoots us because that's exactly what marie is a hot of a is she didn't pull any punches today, and it was a very refreshing time. we had talking to each other here at this russia, africa summit in st. petersburg. we've been covering it from all angles. here at the international and it's not stopping any time. so the coverage continues here.

all of us here in saint petersburg, we appreciate you joining us. that am i caught a conversation. i had the exclusive opportunities to speak with the vice president of the republic of namibia and the modem. back on the sidelines, off the russia, african summit, stated vivian dignitaries that he's country will never turn his back on russia. as mosca was the only one who stood beside it in his darkest times. so we're now joined by the vice president of the republic all. now maybe i can go to the phone, but who's joining us here at archie international. thank you so much for coming in . it's been a couple of very long days here at this russia, africa summit. it's a fetus book. i hope you're enjoying yourself. what would you say right now is the state of the relationship between the media and the russian federation. of the most of it states, the relationship between my maybe a and the license that i some top notch is top notch. yes. and is

a all there any particular sectors where that deeply into twined a with a cooperating and a so is it any cheaper hop? so, oh, i don't know military as a cultural, any services with a specializing in this in to be too young to understand. i appreciate that and please carry on this relationship spot a long time ago when we were on the profession on this off of 5 dates, i thought we were fighting for independence. many countries did not give us any chance at all to succeed. but the soviet union been there, why some people they gave us the terms they gave us the threatening of our fight. this they gave us diplomatic support. they gave us political support. and for what it, based on those tragic and for independence needs to succeed. one that basis upon

our independence in 1990 to be exact on the 21st of march, 19191990. when we gain our independence, we start to know what is broke 5 diploma relationship. we have corporate 18 insecurity. the idea to make sure that that we're going to remain independent we are corporate 18 in the training of our security and defense instrument. and, and based on that, we have spotted corporation in the field of education long time ago. our minutes that we have who is here with us is russian thing. know, yes, really. yes. isn't that not only him? his wife. and so unfortunately she's passed on to be so sort of watch them straight

thing and they cause money to yeah. oh yes. on a lovely story is going back going back or generation just sarah bean said, people from africa these yeah. ninety's and educated in russia. many don't to so teachers and all sorts of people who are now actually designed to stop in leadership positions. yes. the decision makers, now some of the in charge and now they're in charge. now this shows the, into twining of their friendship and the relationship between the maybe a start did one of the things with bass. yes. not when things are new or even just buy a ticket, then volume, and a visit. and i mean, you know, we have talking about when things where the one that's when you needed the help changes were a foot. and a russian came in to assist them with the soviet union or russia outside the main. russia. exactly, exactly, and it's so nice to hear that strongly because these are things that some history books don't want to talk about. sometimes they say that the victors write the

history but tobacco. some of the history perhaps might be slightly skewed. but having you have mr. vice president and a number of other for can officials here. they reminding me of all the historical time between the russian federation of the soviet union, on the african continent. we're looking forward, mr. vice president. do you see the relationship between the media and russia? cuz it closer. getting more intertwined. do you think? first, let me, let us move one step back. we have this thing in my media that do. we do not forget offerings. we do not forget those who was to invite us. when we with vote and vote nobody's, nobody wants to meet you. nobody wants to get a letter from you. nobody wants to request to get that request from your mobile one

to fix your child's voice starting to get education. but is the foundation on the which would be the our relationship with other companies now looking for what you want to look for, let's do that. is it you said you want the vapor and profit? well, i would love to be, do you, did you bring your crystal whole perhaps mr. vice president? no, i don't. i don't know. do the feature we have that often sounds different. the deals are people you know much more digitalization. yes. yes. security, cyber security, to make sure that we have that is the field in which we're moving. i see quite a, we went to the paper and as i said already, to develop a country to develop marketing cod. so you'll need to add those in the machine that is heavy machine, yes, heavy machine so that when you, when to open up a land,

you open it up in a one day or one week or one month when you want to blow by blow is done blowing is done in one day, so that the model you put in the seats and then it's up to that end to see what this can do. exactly. so we are looking into those things, but we will not forget the basic things, education, science, technology, univer, since that is the more than way we improve the equality in sports and cultural activities. right, right, right. last night we had to do now. finally, for the few of the banquet for the banquet indeed, and that is because that up to 4 months, this was one was the one that is reminded me when i came 1st to dislike to this a, to the been soviet union. when we started this device, the 1980 to 1982. yeah. you know, showing no age at all. thank you or you,
