Russia Ready to Share Its Experience in Countering Terrorism With Africa & Help Strengthen Security on Continent: Deputy UN Envoy
"The complex nature of the challenges facing the subregion requires coordinated approaches. We attach particular importance to regional cooperation in countering terrorism. The continued destructive potential of Boko Haram and the activity of ISIS*-affiliated groups remain a concern," Anna Evstigneeva said at a meeting of the Security Council on the situation in Central Africa.
Russia is open to joint counterterrorism projects, she said, noting that the country will continue providing African partners with necessary technical assistance.
Russia will continue to support the activities of UN structures in the region and provide the necessary assistance to the states of Central Africa on a bilateral basis, Evstigneeva stated.
*Daesh (also known as ISIS/ISIL/IS) is a terrorist organization outlawed in Russia and many other states
