a multi polar world. federal but i would like to express my satisfaction that he made a vase of the official program of the 2nd verse advocate summit were held and constructive and friendly atmosphere as well as in a very effective way. stephen once again confirmed the firm asked you to invite the roster and to forget to further develop our mutually beneficial partnership. just search for new phones, new areas on the bottom are put and opened up his statements 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 spears in which the of the african continent and the russian federation

are looking to further development and the future. specifically focusing on the struggle against terrors, some on the african continent as well as cooperating in humanitarian areas as well . and you 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 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 in national currencies. let's take a list. nobody said it's a fit of calculus given that you can interested in that. i see the target dates to

qualitatively and quantitatively increase mutual tray and improve this structure. we're also talking about consistently switching to national currencies, including the ruble in financial settlements, eliminate trade barriers, including by linking integration processes within the range and economic union of the african union. and it's free trade area to increase exports to africa of russian industrial products, which enjoyed good reputation on the continent, including machinery, equipment, vehicles, chemicals, and fertilizers. a country will continue to supply crops to african friends both on a contract basis and free of charge. a walk at the summit continues, but even now, i would like to thank old, our african colleagues for accepting our invitation to go to some pages. but russia is sincerely trying to build for the strategic, multifaceted relations and partnerships with africa. and we see the same attitude to act together on the part of african friends. 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 sphere of health care. because russia has been doing a lot to help the african continent combat 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 consummate of 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 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 africa is going to look like in the next say, 10 or 20 years. yeah, double quarter giving us a sense of the past 48 hours. well, during a lengthy round table session, there are african leaders and the president discuss global concerns reform of the un security council on the african independence. they also emphasize the significance of the bricks grouping. and i was like, he forced to promote the increasingly being heard term multiple are to take it focused, new african people shouldn't be puppets. we need to ensure the self sufficiency of our people and countries. russia has always respected our sovereignty. the bricks, countries are a hope for us. they will help to fight western domination deluxe. what they do is,

you know, see how it is important to inform the security council to reduce the in equity towards all african countries. that's how no trick presented in this organization. so somebody says create this summit is marked by the spirit of cooperation and partnership. again. i think we need a more or less. yeah, absolutely. the subject of this vision well on the sidelines, all of the seminar to got the chance to talk with the nigerian vice president cushion should team a praise the ties between his country and russia, and hope the gathering would boost the prospects for the entire african confident exit of the c, vice president of the republic of a nigeria and the senate to thank you so much for your time and really appreciate your availability. what was the importance of nigeria participating in the senate? we have come here to sell it and i didn't bring to seek fault for trinity and we know that right young kid ration and that kind of wanting to
