Russia Supports Niger in Fight Against Extremists, Backs Strengthening of Sovereignty: MFA
Moscow expressed solidarity with the Nigerien people following attacks on government facilities in Niamey.
The attacks were repelled by national forces with the support of the Russian Africa Corps, according to the ministry.
Russia said it will continue supporting its Nigerien partners in the fight against extremists, including those allegedly encouraged by European powers.
“We wish Niger, as well as the entire AES of which it is a member, stronger sovereignty and peaceful development.”
