live broadcast closing of the spring session the federation council of russia and the country of africa are very close or completely coincide on international issues vladimir putin announced

this at the plenary session and themselves in st. petersburg together with the president of russia in this meeting. the leaders of 17 states of the continent attended a great deal of attention. putin paid attention to the issue of state sovereignty and its protection. sovereignty is not just once. achieved state. it must be constantly fought for and in this regard i would like to recall the words of nelson mandel he said, do not judge me. don't judge me by my success judge me because how many times have i fallen and risen again so out of state its sovereignty must be defended by all means , never give up do not retreat under external pressure and in such a desire to be independent, defend sovereignty and actively participate in the formation of a multipolar system based on the equality of states.

i am sure that russia and the states of africa are completely in solidarity with each other in this sense. the president separately dwelled on the issue of cooperation between russia and the country of africa according to him, moscow will always be a responsible partner, including in terms of the supply of agricultural products, unlike states of the west for decades , support has always been given to the heavy opposition of the countries of africa to its colony. unfortunately, some manifestations of colonialism have not been eliminated so far and the ideals are still practiced by the former metropolitans. the freedoms of independence and sovereignty are very significant even now in the current difficult conditions of international turbulence. we jointly oppose the use of climate themes, the protection of human rights, and the so

-called gender agenda for non-public political purposes and naturally. can not accept the replacement of international law by the so-called rules-based order. which some countries themselves declare, they themselves constantly distort , change, shuffle, it’s not at all clear what kind of rule it is by whom they were created, it’s clear that they are used by individual countries in their own selfish interests. let's run faster, the new sportmaster application will help technique trouble. come to the running school in the section, poster, get free lessons. train to run farther faster safer. update sportmaster pumped. try shepherds' tooth malaya combines miswak neem for healthy gums and

at the economic and humanitarian forum of russia africa, timed to coincide with the summit, today among the main topics are cooperation in the energy sector, information security and the development of science, as the basis of technological sovereignty in st. petersburg, our special correspondent, varvara nevskaya, she follows the discussions. now there is a direct connection varvara. i welcome many important meetings and statements. they go on continuously, what is most important and interesting. today, we see the main main day of the summit on the air of our tv channel, how a large political program is covered at the highest level, but i want to assure all our viewers that the business program is in no way inferior to pan-saturation. not in importance. and you need to understand that they themselves are a unique platform that provides an opportunity not only politicians to discuss all the most important tracks of the direction of cooperation. well, it gives business representatives the opportunity to conclude new agreements to discuss new

areas of their cooperation and africa is an incredibly interesting market for russian entrepreneurs in various fields . the morning sessions were devoted, in particular, to the prospects for cooperation in the energy sector. you need to understand what africa is. a storehouse of all resources, minerals , and so on, about seven percent of the very world's reserves of oil, gas, coal, and the geo-potential is large, this is all at once in africa , therefore, uh, to realize this potential of our company, the russians can offer uh. with all these countries, their competencies and their ability to build facilities. uh, well , first exploration and construction facilities, uh, oil and gas construction. recently, the construction of large-scale gas pipelines has also been often discussed. e oil pipelines.

cooperation projects in the agro-industrial complex are also extremely promising. let me remind you that agriculture is rapidly developing on the continent. agrotechnologies about half of the labor force of the entire continent is occupied precisely by the domineering economy over the past 5 years of importing agricultural products to african states. i have grown by almost a quarter and today russia plays a big role in ensuring the food security of the countries of the african continent, and obviously, according to the forecasts of the ministry of agriculture of the russian federation, imports and exports between russia and african countries will grow. we have trade with african countries is growing. in the first half of this year , it grew by 60% compared to the same period

last year and has already reached about $4.5 billion, a serious figure, and we, of course, do not plan to stop at the achieved figures. at the same time, if you look at the export of russian products to an african country, then here are the numbers. we have even more exports. in our country, in the first half of the year , it almost doubled and today it is already about three and three tens of billions of dollars. well, and, of course, here, uh, our key product. this is our wheat. here, our dynamics is even higher, we delivered almost three times more wheat to african countries than in the same period last year, and this is about 9 million tons. a number of discussions today were devoted to both science and technology. and it is known that

russia has traditionally been accepting african students on its territory for a long time, who study in a huge number of russian universities in a variety of areas. after that, graduates return to their homeland. how helps its countries in development in a variety of areas. and this track needs to be deepened, according to the ministry of education of the russian federation for too long, uh, we lived in a regime of some kind of weakened cooperation in the field of education with the american continent. in my opinion. now there is to be. uh, there's still a long way to go, but we certainly have an interest from our side and this model will work everywhere. active interaction in the fields, while the field of medicine itself is taking place, so the ministry of health, as well as plans to hold bilateral meetings with a number of representatives of american countries

for the possible expansion of cooperation, and it became known quite recently that this was announced in the margins. and the fact that the supply from russia of its own drugs for the treatment of hiv infection may begin in the very near future to african countries, and minister of health mikhail murashko announced this. it should be noted that a wide range of drugs to combat viral infections, including uh, immunodeficiency viruses person, and i want to note that according to the federal antimonopoly service, the prices for this group of drugs are the lowest in the world, which, in general, ensures accessibility for our patients in the russian federation is ready. not only to invite african countries to purchase modern medicines and vaccines, but also to organize joint production directly on the african continent , representatives

of the russian federal medical and biological agency said this today we plan to conclude an agreement in this area, as a result of which we expect the creation. eh, similar production. russian e-congolese for the production of influenza vaccine first, and then other drugs that are being developed by our company. yes , there are a fairly large number of drugs and polish-like conjugate vaccines and allergen tuberculosis vaccines against human papillomavirus. uh, other drugs, so we are ready to fully cooperate and but themselves, this is not only a platform that gives opportunity to point out. well, you directions of cooperation on the widest range

of topics, but of course, it is possible to compare notes on those agreements that have already been concluded so it is known that zimbabwe has already begun. and the helicopters that have already arrived from russia, created with the support of russian technical aviation, will be placed at 7 special bases. three national hospitals in zimbabwe. and this will ensure the availability of any locality in the country for emergency evacuation, and a patient with some serious threatening disease. in is to completely transfer the entire management system for the implementation of this project to the ministry of health of the country, that is, our participation here. perhaps from the point of view of technical personnel or one from the point of view of the medical one, we are preparing them to work independently from our participation. well, except for some moments when our expert opinion is simply required there. in general, from

the point of view of the consultant, in the midst of the session , the expert community comes out with its opinion regarding a huge number of in addition to further cooperation between russia and african states, but also at the end of official events. here, on the margins , it will take place the adoption of joint documents, including the final declaration of the russia africa 2023 studio summit. thanks for the events of the second day of the russia africa forum in st. petersburg, our correspondent is following. now alexey verchuk gives the floor to dmitry darman for our questions. thank you indeed. alexey verchuk, because the premier is with us in our studio on the fields. uh, shape of russia africa alexey lukinovich. we are glad

to welcome you. especially since now we 'll talk about the dialogue, which hmm i don't know how much it is now, as the french say, ansh. eh, i mean dialogue not only between specific countries. yes, but between associations , we mean, of course, uh, i'm the eu and we mean africa as a continent, so how competitive we are here, firstly, the question is this and to what extent, and now we are opening here. what are the prospects? good afternoon. thank you very much for the invitation. and of course, what if look at russia's relations with africa and you 'll talk a little more about russia then these relations. uh-huh, of course, they can develop very, very fruitfully. and we have a very good history together. and, perhaps, this is our today.

the main competitive advantage, if you look at our joint history, is that russia or the soviet union never had a colony in africa, never competed for the wealth of africa, did not wage any wars with anyone and never we did not participate in the slave trade, moreover, when african country, and fight independence. uh, the soviet union-50 in the early sixties of the last century supported african countries and then, when many of them gained independence, they continued to support them and, uh, helped develop the healthcare system. tens of thousands of students from africa studied with us. we developed the energy sector on the african continent very seriously, then we left there , but people remained, people remember the good and

many fondly remember the years of study in the soviet union in russia and, of course, want to for russia to come back, because they understand that the main advantage of working in russia with russia for them is that russia has never exploited the wealth of africa for its own benefit for its own enrichment. as other countries did it, the same europeans, therefore , today the main leitmotif that we hear at the summit. e sounds like this our african friends tell us you helped us gain political independence as well. today help us gain economic independence and this
