strategic move the faceted relations and partnership with out for good. and we see the same attitude to act together on the part about african friends on the russian defense ministry things ukraine has committed an acts of terror on the southern for city of to gone well. 4060 and people have been wounded in a mis sounds. fine, the a very welcome to you. this is auntie international is good to happy with us. now the russian advocate, somebody to repeat this book as wraps up it's 2nd and final day. the events cover topics ranging from b, emerging multi polar wells to the future of my last one relations between russia and african stays the conflict and ukraine was part of the conversation as well, with vladimir putin saying that in contrast to western accusations, russia's actions did not violate international law,

a dispute there should be no double standards, unilateral sanctions, or trying to secure one's own security at the expense of others. today you were told that we are violating the un charter. i do not think so. on the contrary, i am confident that we faxed it in full accordance with the un charter after was included. so i 2014. the creating authorities begin has the ability to send faxes again, spite of their people using a graph heavy equipment that you, thanks. a gainsville was so disagreed with the west and back who did. so in 2014. this is how the west started the war and you cranes estimate what we covered the summit from start to finish at our studio in st. petersburg, bringing you the key events and spoke with a number of distinguished guests. the yeah, we all reporting from the epic, russia,

africa summit here in st. petersburg. what a couple of days it's been we've heard from the russian president on the head of the african union and just the past hour or 2. the come over and president does all the sumani who emphasize the unity of russia and africa? mr. sumani said that successful russia actually mean success, the african continent. so concord are you from sort of not. i would like to offer my congratulations to you, mister president, because all of the decisions that you've taken you've made, you're not going to regret them because we have managed to secure a great success. not just for the president of the russian federation who has invited us, but it's also a success for african countries because of russia is a winner. everyone is the winner. and we have spoken about the longstanding relations between our countries and russia, who's been in africa for decades. and 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 us help with fighting the goods, colonialism, apartheid, and slavery unity. so for many centuries, we've had good relations and i think these relations are going to develop. but this is the time to give a new impetus to our relations into strive forward and i refer to the process of industrialization to agriculture to 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 interconnected world. so what we advocate is africa being part of the organizations that make the decisions we live in a multi polar world. a how i 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, donald, 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. well, very vladimir put and opened up his statements alongside the african union leader by saying that he was impressed by how productive a talk 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. and this to day summit that's been taking place here in saint petersburg. now he also talked about a number of spears in which the, 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 and further developing this cooperation is going to be the african union. this multinational african organization through which a lot of humanitarian worked and trade deals can be done. and of course, one of the biggest subjects when it comes to trade deals is russian export of grain to the continent 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 and nation currencies. let's take it with somebody said maybe it's a bit of cash assuming that you can interest in them, that i think the target is 2 quantities of lead and quantity of lee increasing mutual trade then improve its structure, which we're also talking about consistently switching to national currencies, including durable, in financial settlements, eliminate trade barriers,

including by linking integration processes within the region, economic union, and the african union. and it's free trade area to, to increase exports to fit gold rush and industrial products, which enjoy a good reputation on the continent, including machinery, equipment, b, goals, chemicals 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, it is some and continues. but even now i would like to think all our african colleagues for accepting our invitation to go to st. petersburg and that russia is sincerely trying to build truly strategic. remove the faceted relations and partnership with africa, and we see the same attitude to act together on the board about african friends. i think it's only solutions. now 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 the sphere of culture, the spirit of healthcare, because russia has been doing a lot 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 significantly increase industrial cooperation and energy cooperation between the russian consulate, the russian federation, and the african continent. and on top of that, of course, one of the another sphere of cooperation is education. this is something that not only vladimir put and has been talking about, but russian officials throughout this summer and the facts that russia is always open to african students looking to come to the russian federation to learn new skills to benefit from russian expertise in 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 africa's 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 as these african nations. and of course, the president of russia, they've all been very domestic and very positive about this a 2 day conference here in st. petersburg. let's listen in on here. some of the comments in focusing to shifted the african american people shouldn't be pop ups. we need to ensure the self sufficiency of our people and countries want to know the be. russia has always respected our sovereignty among the bricks. countries are a hope for us. they will help to fight western domination, not a part of the because they disagree with it. and as soon as you need, it is important to form the security council through and use the in equity towards

all african countries. that's how no trick presented into this organization. i think we need a more or less yeah, of the subject of this nature. so some is this some, it is marked by the spirit of cooperation in partnership. i pretend. well, i must, i must apologize. forgive me please. i'm going to give you a couple of notes. there's some highlights from my side of how 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 5 so says for can people should not be puppets. molly says the bricks, countries are a hope for us on molly says the bricks will help to fight what they call west 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 most on beek says it's important that african countries receive permanent memberships at the united nations security council kind of wrote in the same time. so we enjoyed the summit, central african republic,

cheese. we really enjoyed ourselves, and of course, a 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 sweet succubus and a business woman. she said, well that's a good deals with professional partners in the west. it's clear that some of those are a little bit upset. the african states are building relations with russia. we are dealing with the west and we are in a period where the gemini, of the west is question any challenge. and that everybody's trying to put a hand on africa being one of the next b, c. and, you know, it's diplomacy. if you see heads up 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 faith come here and negotiate. i will when, when partnerships with, with russia, you mustn't 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 and it was time where russia was the savior, and now it's 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, my name is terry cole relationship of friendship with russia in africa. when our fault, by the way of 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 is very, russo foby. 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, i studied for me to go 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 past in the weights the to me i was also told me with the armstrong, kind of the ceo of nigeria as ministry of finance and corporate it. he did say that there's a great potential for russian nigeria, business trade and investments. also taking a moment to point out to the current summit couldn't be a better place to building. it's really hard to breathe experiences we've spoken to

and a lot of companies, everything have a great potential investment relationship. so we're very excited about being here. this is what i wanted to ask you about it if i can get just get straight to it. i mean, how would you characterize to the relationship but also the, i guess the potential relationship between russia and nigeria i, nigeria is, is the biggest economy. and i think that is correct, right? that is correct. so i think that the relationship, i mean the potential of their relationship is great. i think so far the, the trade between russian and that 0 has been papa now. right? that we believe that these types of events on summit provides of funds. i stick opportunity for us to really deal with the foundation or allow us to sort of define don't relationship brush. i have some incredible businesses that have bills inside of an infrastructure. they have the resources, they have the experience that we believe can be useful to an idea in some specific success because there is one of those mining. and so now that we think that there's

great opportunities for us to collaborate, i mean, there is, there's a lot of movement in the world today regarding the diversification of financial economies to national car and seeds on alternatives to the main reserve currency of the world of course the don't not sure whether it be, so s c o c and global south africa today, that seems to be some momentum to the usage of national current c. so in trade between various professional partners, do you think that is potentially something that russia and by jerry could move towards exchanging and the national currencies and trey, when you know, i think i think for those top priority is $12.00 new instruments and opportunities to facilitate treat as for each other when it comes to payments settlements, right? and so it was a facilitating movement of goods and services in our country, right. and, and also reducing the cost of trade. however,

in using 3rd party conferences that are not involved in that trade becomes adds to the costs, then clearly it's something that we would look into. but i think part of the priority is to put in place instruments processing on policy that will facilitate trade between our 2 countries. like right and always increasing the level of attributes in our country and building was lucky. so i'm going to, if i'm not mistaken though, africa is working on creating that a free trade zone is correct. is that something that russia could be involved with? oh no, absolutely. i think so. the reason i believe so i think it is a great opportunity because the whole idea is to improve and increase the level of inside every country. right? so we should be able to figure that since there's a lot more. but to do that, we need to do an infrastructure. we need a copy to. we need to talk about is that have the expertise. and i believe that is an here with russia can benefit tremendous. russian companies compete with businesses in,

in africa. that they can use to use goods and services that can be sold within our franco. i big on, always to bring copy to to, to be able to invest in those businesses. i would believe that the return on that capital is likely to be a little more than to kind of get anywhere else because the headboard foot board is, is significant. so i, you know, john 0 question. yes. i think it is something that russian and russian companies and actually, you know, benefit from tremendous among the many guess. so we have here at the, off the international students in st. 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 answer back and forth and. and then she zeroed in on the car in the state. all of us leadership have a listen for yourself. as you say, when you talk about dividing white house and you know, what do they have to offer it and the demand. clearly he's, he's having some issues president bide, 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 yes of, of, i think 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 say 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 something times 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 missed a lot of a said somebody during back and 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 straight shooter, because that's exactly what maria 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 saint 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 at st. petersburg, we appreciate you joining us earlier on the sidelines of the summit, we spoke with the director of the egyptian council full forward as fast as that all said, he said the summit has been a success, noting africa's concerns have been addressed by the russian president. this summit is a successful, it is a success in the sense that to the speech of the president, the president of fulton met the concerns of the african countries. in particular,

when it comes to food in security and the many economic hardships they are facing and connection with uh, the uh, what has to be 9 now. so you few days ago and that to russia refused to continue was vis green agreements. and i would like also to add this, we have listened many initiatives and that speeds in many aspects kind of says, hey, economic corporation in the field of and let's see you clear the energy and also your 6th teens. also the be speech. see us today at the opening, the session of the mrs. david moto says,

the chairman of video development bank was also eh, and a added value to the nations of the community, and then 10 dresser and the sense of it to this bang. though it is established within bricks countries, but it is open for any, any of the countries is lilian. and she mentioned the super for example, and the united out of image assessment. but to that bank or is the most name, but it's a mix. so i would say that to get out of many ideas and initiatives that should be it updated and i'm sure it would be a step forward or forward or if it sort of ended with the lease. and so between us and the deposit will be west africa, so i'm, it is now as a will continue to bring you more news on that. now let's say it's off of the

delegates had. a about the foundations of it being built during the conference of the last 2 days and so pages. but the, what's the, what the news now russia has reportedly destroyed the headquarters of the ukrainian security service. and the city of the need for, for trucks with a missile strike that have also be reports of ukrainian defense system casing of residential complex. se father has no official reaction from most good, but we'll be following the story and bringing you all the latest updates. well, this comes off of the russian defense ministry, said ukraine have conducted a terror attack on a civilian area in southwest russia. 16 people were wounded in the explosion. the ropes, the c evans,
