On
May 25, Africa Day is celebrated all over the world. Exactly 58 years ago in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) the
Organization of African Unity was founded, uniting 55 states (nowadays, it is the
African Union). The holiday is also known as the African Liberation Day, it proclaims the political and economic integration of the region's countries, as well as the complete eradication of colonialism and neo-colonialism from the African continent.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has already congratulated African heads of state and government on Africa Day, noting that "the
Russia-Africa Summit, held in 2019 in Sochi, made it possible to chart new forms and directions of constructive interstate cooperation. I am confident that, relying on the agreements reached, we will further expand the entire range of Russian-African ties for the benefit of our countries and peoples.”
SPIEF will also conduct a
Russia-Africa business dialogue, which will be held on
June 3 at 17:00. One of the most important questions is what business strategy could serve both Russian and African interests.
Speakers are:
Rania Almashat, Minister of International Cooperation of the Arab Republic of Egypt;
Joshua Phoho Setipa, Managing Director, United Nations Technology Bank for Least Developed Countries;
Rene Awambeng, Director & Global Head, Client Relations, Afreximbank;
