and the g transitions internet coverage already read choose most of the african populations and digital innovation centers and financial technology services companies. i multiply strengthening, lead with cnn health. complex trim funding may need to ample opportunities for cooperation way of south america. the african continent has important all was a such as you know, the central or successfully to move co go up that will play the strategic row. so that we do not remain as export as a primary products. we must make the most of these opportunity to, to forward to the integration of app production chains and add value to the goods and services that we produce in the sustainable matter. africa is the region of the world that it meets the least amount of greenhouse gases. however,

this does not mean that it does not have to face the most perverse consequences of global warming, such as droughts, floods, fires, and cyclades. brazil many ask and countries have comprehensive plans to renew the energy, mixes. we share the responsibility of caring for tropical rain forest and preserving by diverse do we share the common concern of 5 d, v. d 's? it 50 cation process, environmental, and ecosystem services provided by rain, forests to the road. they must be paid for in a fair and equitable manner. say, should diversity products can generate jobs and income, and offer, like tentative to the private transportation of natural resources.

growth as far as dates and achievement of a sustainable development culls. we're just saying it is important that the focus of these for him is such relevant topics and tasks as the whole spend demik restoration of the brakes, but we see member states economies. the weather is citizens, wellbeing can well for when you are is ation of the industry and it's facing transports and supply chains. but you're cost okay? and giving additional lamp that is to the technology transfer me. so there's resulting all these difficult tasks we have to against the backdrop of the deepening volatility of the stock exchange and energy and the food markets. under the condition, the open place and pressure and caused by is among cods, where things are responsible actions and by number of countries in these

on large scale with money and nation. just during that been demik that increases the private and state data and serious negative consequences for the global economy. situation is also caused by the legitimate sanctions. some models, legitimate freezing from all the state assets and basically undermining of all the basic principles and norms of free trade and economic life recently they seemed is going to be written in stone and that's direct consequences of days as the resources shortage. want strengthening government equality for the gray with all fine employment and exacerbation of father problem. and so the global economy, that's what prices are growing prices for the basic funding friday is and serials

we use and the most vulnerable and porous countries suffer. first of all, from that, usually it is important that under such conditions the brakes member states, they strengthen cooperation and our joint alfred to enhance. they can only growth in sustainable development. yields concrete, practical results, physical scripts, assumable weight together will launch new infrastructure and investment projects. the trade exchanges are expanding and the industry context are also expanding. and what is most important we work together based on the principle of equality and respect for the mutual interests. and this is the gist of the foreigner and looking strategic path of our organization. this, that is in the vein of the largest part,

major part of the global population, the global majority, as it's also referred to, and the number of speak for themselves over the last decade. util investment among the brakes. member states has grown by 6 times in turn, investments into the global economy, creased by 2 times to fold, and the joint experts reach 20 percent of the total global numbers as for russia. but the problem is our tre turnover. we break sparts are increased by 40.5 percent and he's now record high $230.00 more than $230000000000.00. and over the 1st 6 months of this year in comparison with the same period of $20.00 to $22.00 at has crowns by.
