The Africa-Russia Summit, which took place in St. Petersburg on July 27 and 28, played a vital role in strengthening diplomatic relations between Africa and Russia. During the summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized Russia’s commitment to increasing cooperation with the continent.
The discussions primarily focused on finding ways to enhance trade, investments, and partnerships between Russia and Africa. As a significant step to solidify these efforts, President Putin announced the opening of embassies in Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso, with their headquarters located in the respective capitals. This move aims to establish direct diplomatic representation and foster better communication between Russia and these African nations.
The Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, shared this development on Twitter.
