Earlier, at the second Russia-Africa Summit, held in late July, Russian space corporation Roscosmos noted that it plans to enhance space cooperation with the African continent and carry out joint projects in development and space exploration.

During his visit to the training center, Nguema got to know the process of training Russian cosmonauts, examined a number of simulators and discussed with Roscosmos Head, Yuri Borisov cooperation in space. He also thanked the Russian side for the hospitality.

"Here we really understand how difficult this profession is and how difficult it is to prepare a person for flight. Having seen this, we understand that not everyone can go into space," the vice president said, noting that he sees great potential in cooperation with Russia.
