“The defeat of Nazism and the collapse of the colonial system were the most important events of the twentieth century that provided an opportunity for all humanity to develop free and peaceful development,” Putin noted.

The Russian president also added that in the past decades, African independent states have become members of the international community and have achieved well -known success in the economic and social spheres.

He noted that the multilateral cooperation created within the framework of the African Union and a number of regional structures helps to strengthen security and stability on the continent.

“Russia has always advocated expanding friendly relations with African partners,” the Russian president said in a message to African leaders. This can be fully seen at the Russian and African summits held in years 1 and 2. “Such meetings allowed us to determine new areas of cooperation and facilitate coordination of international efforts in international affairs.”

He pointed out that the next meeting between Africa and Russia will be held in one of the African countries before the end of this year, adding: “The new format of the Dialogue, which is a conference on African and Russian ministers, has good results. The next meeting will be before the end of the year. “
