UN Reform: Russia 'Supports Africa's Initiatives': Burundi's President

The reform of the UNSC must allow for increased representation of the continent, President of Burundi and AU Chairman Évariste Ndayishimiye told Sputnik Africa.

"Russia has stood by Africa’s side from the era of decolonization to the present day—including in the fight against poverty. Russia supports Africa’s initiatives, as well as our push for greater African representation," he noted.

The president also voiced his support for the African common position, which demands at least two permanent seats with all prerogatives, including the right of veto.
