usage. the conductor of the african republic invites all peoples of all countries of the world to mutually beneficial effective cooperation within the framework of the international order based on the un charter african countries. we would like our ideals to come true and allow us to achieve a world of security and harmonious development. thank you. i would like to first say that we highly appreciate our relations between the states, that this level will certainly be maintained in all our most sensitive areas of interaction, there is no doubt, but we must, of course, do even more, we have many opportunities , and we will do this and we will move forward, so

please direct the direction of the republic without any doubt president vladimir vladimirovich putin and the governments of african countries, the russian people send you greetings, as well as best wishes in various events over the past 60 years in order to

understand that in 1900 completely. and this criminal trade has destroyed the african continent, colonization has undergone, not only africa but also asia india indonesia indochina burma philippines malaysia and so on, the destruction and subjugation of the indigenous peoples of america and australia also fit into this trend, these criminal acts

of the imperialists. these are the people who have led this movement. thirdly, a large country, the soviet union became communist in 1917, and china became communist in 1949, these communists actively opposed

the imperialist movement, fourthly , as a result of their greed, the imperialists began to fight each other for us, and this led to so-called the first and second world war. the imperialists tried to cling to their colonies, but in algeria, vietnam, kenya, mozambique , angola, guinea besau, and zimbabwe , namibia and south africa, they were defeated in fifths

even in the imperialist countries themselves. we had allies who opposed this evil dingo food catch system. they stood on our side, on the side of our parents, and opposed this vicious system. in north korea and so on of the last century, as a result of which imperialism weakened

the imperialist countries, which played on hand to our countries, when our parents were used as cannon fodder in these criminal wars they fought the japanese in burma the italians in ethiopia the germans in north africa the fifth african movement that was started by black people in the united states of america received the support of people who stood for justice in the imperialist states finobroqua dingo food and our other allies, therefore we are pleased to be here today in russia and would like to take this opportunity to express gratitude in the soviet union and other socialist countries for the support rendered to us. however, obtaining our own flag , such independence is not enough for africa , we needed to part ways with our former metropolitanates in a healthy way. even

now we are confronted with the problems of development and the legacy of the colonist-colonial era. we have achieved some success. but there is still a lot to be done , which is why we hear that africa's gdp is currently 2.7 trillion us dollars which is less than the economy of japan germany germany and other countries not to mention the united states or china themselves in the african economy is caused by developmental delays. which i don't have time to list here, but we have identified them and together with our brothers in the african union we are trying to solve these problems. however, i would like to give an example of such a congestion. this is the coffee

situation with coffee, the total volume of the coffee business. now worth 460 billion us dollars 460 billion us dollars is the volume of coffee market in the world country. 460 billion in total and oddly enough, coffee producers collectively receive only 25 billion of that amount.

she africa accounts for two and a half billion of the 460 billion africa is only 2.5 billion because we produce 280,000 bags annually germany i would call it a modern form of slavery modern slavery, why is

africa agricultural raw materials mineral raw materials, but not engaged in, manufacturing industries do not produce value-added products. kilo fried coffee costs 40 dollars and roasting takes place outside of africa therefore, all this added to the cost is produced outside of africa and this is a problem, as a result of which it was slowed down, the growth of africa is not one, there are other problems, but i will not talk now about others and i propose to our allies russia india china and other countries to decide that they

can help us with finished products from africa in tara which means iron ore. electric batteries instead of lithium and so further part of the problem that we are trying to overcome in africa is the issue of free movement of goods and services within the african continental free trade area the food problem that is talked about so much for african

communities today is that there is no problem with food bananas. completely irrigated, our farmers produce little bananas, but thanks to irrigation. we raised this figure to 53 tons of bananas per hectare of agricultural land in some sectors, uganda produce

vast amounts of food. and these foods are like beef, which has no cholesterol, but has yellow fat bananas fat cream fish, which is useful in curing some diseases, other foods rich in protein and carbohydrates, and so on, produce a lot of food, but cannot sell it in other countries. due to customs barriers, we can work with countries to create added value in africa and this will mean creating new jobs for unemployed african youth, who

really is now massively trying to get to europe and look for work, there and that way. we will also be able to control the situation with the production of electricity. and all this will contribute and is really working in africa, including the creation of a continental free trade area that would unite the huge markets of the american countries. where to live in the next 30 years we will have us billions of people. it will be much more africa much more than india and yet the current the population of india is greater than in africa and despite the fact that it was in africa that

homo sapiens originated. today, thanks to modern medicine, for the first time in the history of mankind, africa can achieve optimal population indicators and finally. we do not accept any wars based on ideology or political differences throughout human history. we observed various wars in europe which imposed the principles of religious conformity on the whole world. they were born all non-believers and look what happened. to what did it lead to? let's go, they lost again. look what happened to the austro-hungarian

empire with their sacred alliances that tried to spread the catholic faith and spread, in principle, feudalism. look at the revolution in france in 1789 anti-bourgeois. bourgeois revolution. the capitalist revolution supported the principles of feudalism. thanks a lot, it really is. uh, the colonization of other slave trading countries today is generally recognized as a crime. it is

obvious that today everyone agrees with this, but they were agreed when there was a struggle for independence in africa were not. we remember this well. hey, this is the first one, the second one. eh, second. e getting your flag. as a colleague just said, it is not enough. this is obvious. but the preservation of the monopoly of some countries, er, in the field of finance , roaches in the field of technology. e in the field of numbers, and in the field of food. this is unacceptable and needs to be dealt with. and, of course, many here, those present know the soviet union of russia never proceeded from the fact that you need to buy in africa only raw materials. how much did the soviet union built the power plant enterprise? steel foundries in africa, we must return to this practice. as our colleague has now urged, we will do this both on a bilateral basis and on

international platforms. thank you very much for giving the floor to the president of the republic of kunga donesa. dear mr. president of the russian federation mr. chairman of the african union president of the union of the camoros islands

dear ladies and gentlemen, dear orders to us a warm welcome issues discussed at our meeting today is, first of all, our desire for a world of security and development in every historical era. this is a separate generation. each

generation has its own challenges. we have always talked about unity in africa. proteid independence too lazy to fully gain independence, african countries needed competent professional elites, and then

the former soviet union provided great support; millions were spent on training african specialists. this development is in the name of the well-being of two billion africans. so many people. we are looking forward to africa by 2050 today , as yesterday in the struggle for liberation , we are fighting for development, we cannot

do without the help of accompanying the country of our friends and partners, the world has changed today. who said socialism is soviet power plus the electrification of the entire country. at the same time , today is today. 600 million

africans, i repeat the figure 600 million africans live without electricity. impossible to provide this is the embodiment of such a vision of the future

implementation of free trade plans is possible only if we can rely on the appropriate infrastructure, and all these investments are very expensive. and if we are alone, if our countries deal with this issue alone, then it is, in general, a suicidal practice to implement our plans, it is possible only if we unite within the framework of continental or regional organizations to help africa from outside. at

the same time, we african countries should focus on establishing a strategic mutually beneficial partnership, but on defining the main priority infrastructure elements on them and will be negotiated within the framework of , inter alia, the state of the frequent partnership. there will be various sources of financing , there may be concessions, loans for the long term, there may be different sources of financing. can develop only in
