On Tuesday, Moscow hosted the XI Congress "Innovative Practice: Science Plus Business," where attendees discussed challenges in Russia's innovative industry, such as economic and technological hurdles, funding shortages, and explored state support mechanisms and successful business strategies.
At the XI Congress "Innovative Practice: Science Plus Business" panel session, ambassador
Aba Nyankoy of Guinea to Moscow underscored the critical importance of workforce training in tackling the modernization challenges of Guinea’s
agricultural sector.He emphasized the direct link between food production and national stability, highlighting that food shortages in many African nations often lead to unrest, prompting governments to subsidize food imports.
"Currently, there is a project called Simandou, where, through the extraction of natural resources, the country's leadership aims to develop the entire infrastructure, including agro-industrial complexes and food security," Nyankoy noted, showcasing the nation's commitment to a holistic approach to development.
The ambassador pointed to Guinea's fertile soil as a vital resource for achieving self-sufficiency but emphasized the need for international cooperation, particularly with
Russia, in training specialists to modernize agriculture.
"What we consume should be grown locally, which will help preserve the foreign currency earned from the extraction of other valuable resources in the country," he stated.
Nyankoy also stressed the importance of creating opportunities for
young Guineans studying abroad to return home and contribute to agricultural advancements, ensuring long-term food security for the nation.
