In late September, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that his country "will do everything" to assist African countries in strengthening their security and defense capabilities.
African nations are relying on Moscow to address externally
influenced terrorism, said Sike Doumbe, a journalist from the pan-African media For You Media Africa, who asked Vladimir Putin a question during a press conference at the BRICS 2024 Summit.
"African states want to have this partner who will help them get out of this abyss, these terrorist groups that are being used, that are being manipulated for the very purpose of destabilization. And we know that these groups are generally manipulated from outside," she told Sputnik Africa.
Doumbe added she was "satisfied with Vladimir Putin's response" because the security issue is very important in Africa.
"We know what Western states are looking for. We know that they are looking for our wealth, that they are destabilizing our states. But with Russia, we have seen results in the Sahel or in the Central African Republic," she explained.
Putin Highlights Russia’s Commitment to Deeper Investment Ties With Africa
During
his presser on the last day of the BRICS Summit this Thursday, the Russian president addressed questions about Russia's role in African security and economic development during an exchange with Doumbe.
The journalist highlighted Russia's stabilizing presence in conflict-ridden regions like the Sahel and the Central African Republic, contrasting Russia’s swift impact with the West’s longstanding but less effective presence.
In response, Putin outlined Russia’s commitment to strengthening partnerships with African nations, focusing on broader investment and economic cooperation.
"I completely agree with you, this is the essence of our work with the partner countries, in creating an investment platform. […] And this is precisely why we have now, within the framework of BRICS, raised the issue of creating a new investment platform and creating conditions for investment precisely in the effectively rapidly developing markets in these regions of the world, and primarily in Africa," he said.
Putin added that Russia, along with other BRICS members like China and Saudi Arabia, anticipates robust economic growth but acknowledges Africa’s particular potential. This approach aims not only to support stability but also to facilitate sustainable development across the continent by channeling investments into rapidly advancing markets.
