identification of the main priority infrastructure elements on them and will be negotiated within the framework of, in particular, state-private partnerships. 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 conditions of synergy.

we are doing all this during peace within the framework of mutual trust of partners. that will ensure the fulfillment of commitments and initiatives speaking about peace in africa, it must be said again, we are striving for peace. and we we hope that peace will also be established in europe, so i once again call for the end of russian ukrainian is african wisdom. it is said that the grass

suffers from the elephants that trample on it , of course, at various points, in particular agricultural land. this is a multilateral problem, our population is affected by many complex problems today, returning to the russian ukrainian conflict, the african initiative deserves putin's attention on this topic. once again i want to say that we continue to be optimistic. we have

a lot of problems. at the summit, we discuss them all, and once again we strongly urge the restoration of peace in europe in your part of the planet. thank you for your attention. this is a very important question, and certainly. we will discuss it. today we will devote a special time to this, as far as the world is concerned. it certainly is. so this is the basis of the wounds of any development, but i would like to draw attention to two things. e. so, which were touched upon by the speaker. this is the infrastructure and training of personnel, the infrastructure is, of course, basic. uh, the conditions for development are quite obvious. and uh, here you need to define and here on what i would like to draw attention to, firstly, russia has

competence in the development of any infrastructure of any kind. i want to emphasize this and the competencies are very good, and secondly, there are financial sources in order to solve these problems , only we need to jointly propose and develop mutually beneficial, economically effective tools for solving these issues in africa , there are enough resources to , to work out these instruments together with our partners, including partners from russia. well, what about personnel training we have eh? a very good experience of working with talented young people from africa is very good, and i think this is the most important thing, because the future of the world economy depends on high technologies, and the development of high technologies without specialists. it is simply impossible, and this is a very important area

of ​​our joint work. thank you very much and please give the floor to the president of the arab republic of egypt abdel, please. thank you, your excellency president of the russian federation in the name of allah, merciful. e miloservice your high quality. uh, russian president vladimir putin , your high incoming president of the african union, mr. sasumani, your highly excel. uh, head of government ladies and gentlemen. first of all. i would like to express my gratitude to your excel russian president vladimir putin for the hospitality and excellent organization of the second summit. and russia africa, the first summit, as you know, was held in

2019, and we believe that this is a very important event for building relations. today's summit is taking place between russia and the countries of the african continent in an extremely difficult international situation, because we are talking about the polarization of various forces and, uh, the impact of this on the entire system of international relations. and of course. these african countries are interested in construction, reliable infrastructure and, above all, in those issues that affect our security and peace and therefore our countries to use the available resources to

achieve these goals is always egypt. peace between strong countries should be built on justice, and this was our strategic choice. we proceed from the premise that power goes beyond turning off in truth and in logic. on the contrary, logically, our opinion about what we are doing today is very important in the light of our strategic partnership. first of all, african countries should enjoy their sovereignty , advocate for peace, development by

attitude towards everyone. difficult problems, uh, that the united nations are facing today, and including the issue of the peaceful resolution of existing crises, and of course. we must study in depth the reasons for the emergence of certain leo uh conflicts and their impact on uh, peace and security, we must also consider carefully studying issues related to the impact of international sanctions on this or that country. we must take into account the face to take into account the issues

of food security growth, prices food. therefore, it is necessary to find an urgent and fast operational solution to problems. e deliver food to a country in need, while paying attention to all, a issues related to this topic, e, and, of course, it is necessary to reach a consensus on the issue of a grain deal, a grain agreement, as we call it, and take into account all the needs of those countries that are in need in this, as well as the consequences. this is the situation for many countries and peoples. as for the position

of the african countries, it is based on moderate, uh, moderation of the views that we profess and how to proceed in resolving all these issues based on our interests is very important. there are funding issues. issues of support from russia to african countries. and the documents that we are adopting today at the summit are very important for defining our strategic partnership. not to mention those broad prospects that are opening up in connection with the development of our cooperation, which has a-a different our mutual interest and natural direction economic cooperation and the attention we give to the industrialization

of development, agriculture, infrastructure - these are all important in the light of our santa destroy and interaction with russia given the historical ties between our peoples and taking this opportunity. i would like to assure that egypt is ready to continue to contribute to strengthening the deepening of our strategic cooperation. e, on the principles of which we agreed we are also ready to intensify, and on communications and relations between our companies and russian organizations of the company as far as the interests of our region are concerned, here, of course, it is important for germany to accept the efforts of the african union, as well as all steps to restore the electric power of our economy.

you conclude on its development and strengthening of peace and security in our region. once again, i would like to thank the russian federation personally, his excellency vladimir putin, president of russia, for organizing it and for the fact that we hope this summit will bring the desired results on the path of progress and peace. thank you for your attention. thank you very much, dear mr. president , relations between russia and egypt have been of a strategic nature for decades. and it's just a fact of life, no matter what is written in our documents. although it is just written there, but in fact, the relationship between egypt and russia is truly strategic in nature, both in the field of politics and in the field of economics. we have many big projects in common. e. i now want to go back to what uh

my friend and colleague said here about food policy and deficits, and prices and so on. i have already mentioned. i don’t want to just repeat, because the difficulties in food, energy and energy on the world energy markets arose neither yesterday nor because of the situation with ukraine, they began to arise. occur during the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, when many countries, including industrialized countries and countries, are closing enterprises for sanitary reasons. they were forced to, in an appropriate way, support their population and their production in various industries. how with the help of e, in ultimately, the issuance of money in the united states carried out a colossal mission and in the euro

area carried out a colossal issuance in the eurozone. a little less in the us, very, uh, heavily printed money. uh, they began to direct to uh, then, to buy uh food on world markets and prices immediately skyrocketed , this was also with uh, frankly, far-sighted energy politicians, when looking ahead, having no uh, reason to rely on efficiency uh alternative forms of energy began to neglect hydrocarbons. did not invest money in the development of hydrocarbon energy. all this has led to an increase in energy resources. ultimately. this was reflected in the cost of fertilizers. it's one mistake after another, one mistake after another, these are fundamental things that have turned the markets and, uh, food. uh, markets, uh,

mineral fertilizers and energy. this is where the reason for the rise in prices is, of course, what is happening today in ukraine to a certain extent stimulates these processes, but the root cause is not here, the root cause of fundamental errors industrial developed countries financial energy, uh, policy and in e in finance and in terms of, uh and financial as i said. that's where the reason for the rise in food prices ends up being the first reason. but of course, we have to think about what lies on the surface, and we'll talk more about that today. i mean crisis. in ukraine thank you very much for your speech and now the floor to the president of the republic

, your excellency president vladimir putin, to thank for the opportunity to speak the speeches of the previous

through consultation, we are developing a consensus that the second phase of the russia africa summit is underway and i think it has highlighted some of the foundations of our strategic partnership in our partnership. we must take into account the serious issues that are now on the agenda. i would suggest creating a mechanism in order to develop.

uh, this strategy should not be some kind of general basis for a partner, that we need to move to specific areas of cooperation within the framework of this strategy. we must develop specific documents for specific projects, for each sector for each industry sector. we need to develop plans for a broader strategy that takes into account the specific details of the need to mobilize resources. non-regional , for example, latin america asia should

work on such partner projects, as for the clans, they will require the mobilization of resources and i can say that more than 60% of all world resources are on this continent. they can be mobilized for the benefit of our projects in industry and other areas. it's come time to implement these projects and mobilize our resources. i am sure that the russian federation has all the necessary industrial production bases in order to support such a strategic partnership between russia and africa, but also other continents. participate in the implementation of our goals, but for this we

need to develop a special document. perhaps we can have the next summit, for example, next year and by now. we must have a clear strategy in which you a number of plans for each industry sector have been included, and implementation deadlines should also be included in these plans for resource mobilization. these are finance material technological industrial resources. all this needs to be mobilized in order to implement these clear, concrete plans. to do this, we need mechanisms to implement each project separately. thus. we will integrate all outreach approach. at various institutional levels

uh, china in general, these should be very detailed plans in the field of technological development. we need to include specific timelines for the implementation of projects, as soon as we have this document at the level of the continent at the level of the russian federation global partners. they can also join our efforts to make a difference.

that is, we will need to solve problems and it is better to solve them sooner rather than later. and here you need to think ahead, and it seems to me that at the second summit we need to think about developing such documents. we must be ready for such work on projects before work on resource mobilization. we look forward to the success of this ourselves once again mr. putin thank you for creating such a favorable environment for the exchange of ideas and considerations to develop a consensus in the coming

medium term. and today it will be difficult to achieve any specific positive results we need, which is why the creation of such a mechanism for strategic partnership. eh, this is a very important matter, like a lighthouse that shows us the way eh, the direction of our movement unconditionally. this is hard work. if if you, uh, offer to compare it with the capabilities of our partners and friends of other regions of latin america in asia, then, of course, uh, a better tool for this or a better platform for creating such a tool. these are consultations with our partners on the brix and we will try to have here u colleagues and u, president of the republic of south africa u. together we will try

to promote your offer from our brix partners and others. of course, we need to think about how difficult it is to work, especially across industries by country. complex work, but if we want to achieve concrete results, then we need to think about it right now, i agree. with you of course, thank you very much. yes, please, give the floor to the president of the republic of guinea , besso umarukov. thank you friend. dear mr. president of the russian federation vladimir putin president also dear heads of state governments mr. african countries who are present in this hall africa president of the american
