there was also a meeting in a frame within frames. e african mission. this one is in the spirit of our traditional partnership arrangement. and these relations began back in the days of the struggle against colonialism, our relations are good, but i think that we still need to continue to make efforts so that our economic cooperation is even more saturated with the potential of our partnership, a huge 37 million square

kilometers of more than one billion million inhabitants and russia is also a huge country, and together, together, our continent and your country , we are huge, we have huge natural resources, huge demographic potential and therefore we can work and cooperate in different, but in different areas of agriculture industry. uh, transport security information technology hydrocarbons, digital economy and so on. well, you need to start from adequate traumatic mechanisms of mechanisms for funding and partnership investments. you will notice that i am not talking about help, because in fact i do not believe in help to

answer our young brother colleague the president. africa we didn't come here to beg and we don't go to other places either, come, we are working to create uh worthy partnerships for the development and well-being of our peoples in st. petersburg, we will introduce our struggle for dignity. and this one is the battle transcends, uh , generational boundaries, and many presidents have spoken about it. also, mr. president , each generation has its own battle, we have a battle against terrorism, which undermines our

continent, we must also work. well , if you figure it out like this, why africa turned out to be in such a situation, well, as it were, history is the legacy of history the legacy associated with colonization from slavery. and it goes on in this system of neo-colonialism. and this injustice of the systems with which they are fighting, we demanded the reform of the un we demanded a reform of world governance. and today it is precisely these institutions that dictate the rules to us. and if these rules are not changed , we will achieve nothing exactly, which is why it is very important to work. uh, the gift to work, uh, all over the continent, because these trucks are very

important. we have some small countries. or others who sometimes interfere with our work, and therefore we must continue to work. we have to work on big regional projects in africa. there are many infrastructure projects. she needs railways electricity, uh dams. ah, and so on and so forth, there must be mechanisms. uh, funding regional programs to develop africa and i think that with russia we can work together. we will also be able to work from brix with other partners who will be able to work in accordance with

our priorities. what about our factory problem? our main concern is peace on the continent, security on the continent and in the world, we want to help calm the situation and restore the free trade in grain fertilizers, which i have been talking about since the beginning of the russian-ukrainian conflict and we produce corn and many other crops. well, how will we work without fertilizers? of course, we must lift all sanctions against the fertilizer trade. i think that we will be able to move forward in this direction and also

with regard to other partners, we have been allowed to advocate for the lifting of all sanctions so that countries can return to normal free trade. for the benefit of all the entire population. i'll stop there because i don't want to drag it out. we want russia to work at the level of the african union in security areas. we have a peace architecture for the african union, and we are now thinking about how my husband should work further. uh, the security councils have their mission, which is to restore peace and terrorism, of course, is very harmful to our continent. we do not see solidarity in relations with africa for us. this is a very important topic that also said this.

this is an investment program. we must make liquid investments together for the common good and prosperity and thank you again for the support you have shown in time chairman. uh, regarding the entry of africa 220. it is imperative that africa should be part of the 20 already in order for the world to be more just, more stable and there must be a place that it must occupy a worthy place. thank you for successful work. thank you dear mr. president, you have provided good food for discussion. i will try to restrain myself and not waste much

time, but what would i like to say, what would i like to draw attention to, what would i like to draw attention to. well, first of all, i really agree. yes, and here everyone thinks so, that for last decade, although the colonial e, being a thing of the past, but the e system is not about realism. it still exists, it was created, and we see this hegemony, as i said, finance in technology in food. and by the way, speaking in safety means, and that's when we are told, uh, we need to live by the rules. it is not clear who wrote, that is, and there is, an attempt to preserve this system of neo-colonialism, because they do not want to change these rules. and you just called for a change in the rules that have developed over last decade. i completely agree with you here, but hmm uh, you also

said that you don't believe in help. uh you know uh. i believe, because if we provide assistance to our allies, our like-minded people, then we work in our own interests and one does not contradict the other, but, of course, you are right in what needs to be created. instruments of cooperation mutually beneficial instruments of cooperation, in fact, we have not gathered here for this, in order to talk about it here , i completely agree with you and with pleasure i give the floor and the floor to the president of the republic of south africa excellencies chairman of the african union and

the presidential sea islands, your excellency of the union and governments.

which is considered the cultural capital of russia what artists included in their performance african instruments drums, did we feel at home? thank you very much for this year ago in the city of sochi, we made a promise as african leaders and the russian federation

in a practical key, it is especially important when we chart a new course of economic development growth and prosperity. and when we try to achieve the goal of sustainable development. we in south africa remember with gratitude the support of the people and government of the soviet union. how did you support our struggle for

liberation, the struggle of many other states? but participation in such forums as the russia-africa summit is driven by the desire to achieve vision 2063. this is the african union's program for integration, as well as

inclusive social economic development. as you know, you are part of the brixer, the 15th summit will be held soon brix wuhannesburger. we believe that this very one provides an opportunity to expand and strengthen global cooperation to achieve common ground. nation in africa brix partners are participating in the economic life of africa so the south african summit will especially focus on infrastructure development with the support of the new brix development bank and also with the support of the african

continental free trade area in terms of opportunity. incoming, but feature mudra said president african kinky themselves forge their own fate, as a state and as a continent, we have significant resources that can and should be used primarily for the good of africa , so that the african economy grows, to

ensure sustainable development, as already mentioned. we no longer want to export the natural resources and mineral resources of our continent. we want to export. respect for what we do at the national level , we must stop those countries that consider their well-being only in terms of the natural resources that they have in africa, they did this in the past, counting their wealth as the number of slaves they

had they took from the african continents. as a sovereign state should also be able to pursue its independent foreign policy, which would not be dependent on other global powers or blocs, the second russia africa summit is an opportunity to strengthen deepen international cooperation for africa's development we welcome that it concentrates on

strengthening investment cooperation contributes russia africa for the coming years should be in line with the african union's 2063 agenda , so it will be realized through practical action. we also need to monitor and evaluate implementation and provide the necessary funding to

implement and achieve concrete results. we must reaffirm our commitment through an international mechanism. they need to be reformed greater participation of the countries of the global south will provide an opportunity for greater inclusiveness and credibility , reforming international financial institutions, as well as the reform of the un security council remains a priority for us absolutely injustice.
