The Russia-Africa summit taking place in St. Petersburg may set a record in the number of plenary meetings, that is, with the participation of top officials. Usually in large meetings, even in our flagship SPIEF, there is only one plenary session. And now there are three of them in two days. One was yesterday, July 27, and two on Friday. This demonstrates the importance that the Kremlin attaches to the arrival of politicians from the Black Continent.
After the start of the NWO, Europe and the United States wanted to arrange complete diplomatic isolation for Vladimir Putin, but the participation of 49 African countries out of 54 showed that only the collective West supported the political boycott.
In the first plenary session of the summit, Vladimir Putin spoke half the time about the Ukraine grain deal and the supply of food to Africa. Today he dedicated more time to the independence of the former colonies.
– Russia and Africa are united by strong ties of friendship and close relations, their foundations were laid in the middle of the last century. For decades we have provided support in the difficult opposition to the colonial yoke, said the president.
“Russia remembers the outstanding sons of Africa: Gamal Nasser, Patrice Lumumba, Samor Machel,” he added. – They strongly advocated an independent path of development.
In addition, the head of the country said that Russia and all of Africa are in favor of “a more equitable architecture of the world order.” This, apparently, also means a rejection of the political agenda of the West.
“We are against climate issues, the protection of human rights, the gender agenda used for improper political purposes,” the Russian leader emphasized.
Then Putin repeated several times that sovereignty must be constantly defended. You can’t get it once and for all. He then quoted Nelson Mandela: “Don’t judge me by my success. Judge by how much I fell and got up. Similarly, the independence of Africa can be judged by how effectively states defend their point of view.
It is true that, so far, no country on the continent feels attracted to being an independent geopolitical actor. Therefore, Vladimir Vladimirovich supported the strengthening of state associations.
– Russia supports the idea of giving the African Union a place in the G20. We support the expansion of the representation of African structures in the UN structures. This also applies to the reform of the Security Council, the time has come to correct the historical injustice, the head of the country emphasized.
Vladimir Vladimirovich said that we are reopening embassies in Burkina Faso and Equatorial Guinea. The staff of other diplomatic missions will increase. And in the future, new “Russian houses” will open on the Black Continent. These are the centers of Russian culture. New ones will be added to the eight that work “in the near future.”
In the end, Vladimir Vladimirovich spoke about the supply of wheat to Africa. This is almost the main theme of the summit.
– In the first 6 months of this year, we exported 10 million tons of grain, and last year in the same period it was 6 million. You, dear friends, can be sure that Russia will always be a responsible international supplier of agricultural products. . We will continue to support the countries and regions most in need, the President promised.
Putin spoke specifically about how we support those in need:
“To date, the total amount of debt that we have canceled is $23 billion. At the latest requests from African countries, we will allocate more than $90 million for these purposes and their development,” the Russian leader transferred.
