June 22, 2023 Interview with the Director of the IAfr RAS Irina Abramova "A real geopolitical battle is underway for Africa"

Belarus and Russia are stepping up cooperation with African countries. Fruitful contacts at the highest level contribute to the implementation of major economic projects. Moreover, unlike Western states, our countries offer cooperation aimed at the development of this continent, and not using it as a raw material base. And this is especially appreciated by African partners. Director of the Institute for African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Irina Abramova spoke about the prospects for cooperation with Africa, the role of the states of the region in a timely peace, attempts to resist external pressure, and the peace initiative proposed by African leaders to Ukraine and Russia in an interview with radio Belarus.
