On Tuesday, the Kremlin announced that Putin would hold talks with his Chadian counterpart on Wednesday. The two leaders plan to discuss the prospects for the development of Russian-Chadian relations in various fields, as well as issues of the regional and international agenda.
Mahamat Deby has been the country's transition leader since October 2022, until then he headed the nation's military council, which governed the country after Chad's long-serving president, Idriss Deby, died in April 2021 from injuries sustained in fighting rebels in the north of the country.
Chad is scheduled to hold presidential elections before October this year.
