Institute of Asian and African Studies Turns 65 Today
It is Russia's leading center for Orientalists and Africanists, specialists in the countries and regions of Asia and Africa.

Asia and Africa have always been strategically important destinations for Russian business. Next week (May 24-26), the XV International African Studies Conference "Destinies of Africa in the Modern World" will be held in Moscow. This is a fundamentally important scientific and practical event, the story of which dates back to 1969. More than 500 researchers and experts from Russia, Africa, EU countries, America, Asia, Australia and Oceania will discuss the way African countries are going through a series of infrastructure, digital, and human transformations.

It is particularly important that Russia has accumulated a growing body of competencies that allow to facilitate this transformation and implement joint projects in such areas as:

medicine;
subsurface management;
e-government;
education;
transport infrastructure;
energetics;
agriculture.

The first Russia-Africa summit took place in October 2019 in Sochi: more than 170 Russian companies submitted 280 cooperation proposals. The second summit will be held in 2022 in one of the African countries - the place and date are yet to be specified. Partnership with Africa will also be one of the topics at SPIEF 2021.
