Russia-Africa Relations Must Go Beyond Trade – Time to Move to Tech Partnerships, Joint Enterprises, Russian Official Says

Russia demonstrated at #SPIEF2025 what can be achieved through cooperation with Africa, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Alexander Babakov told a Russian media outlet.
"This should be a joint movement forward, based on the understanding that we do not take a selective approach to cooperation — we see these [African] countries as equal partners," the official explained.
He also emphasized that several African delegations participating in the forum expressed satisfaction with the progress of relations with Russia at both the parliamentary and intergovernmental levels.
In 2025, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum welcomed delegations from 144 countries, according to the organizing committee.
