The focus of the new Russia-Africa action plan should not be reduced to simply adding or removing specific bullet points, according to Isaias Afwerki. "This partnership is strategic; its implication is serious for many African peoples and countries, but also [for] Russia as a major player," Afwerki told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the ongoing summit in Moscow.Adversaries are actively trying to block this cooperation, he warned, stressing that overcoming these challenges is essential to build a solid foundation for the future."This summit could be one step ahead of addressing the serious global and regional issues. Africa will have to make its contributions. Above anything else, Russia is expected to make major contributions," the president concluded.
