Russia's humanitarian cooperation agency Rossotrudnichestvo hopes to open the Russian House in Angola in 2024 if funding is found and an agreement is signed, the agency's head Yevgeny Primakov told Sputnik.
"We hope that this year we will be able to conclude an agreement with Angola, and if we find funding, we will open there," he told Sputnik.
Cultural cooperation between Africa and Russia has a long history, and the countries continue to promote new joint projects.
Earlier, Pavel Shevtsov, the deputy head of Rossotrudnichestvo, told Sputnik that the organization is very interested in expanding its presence on the African continent by opening new Russian language and culture centers, known as Russian Houses.
A non-state Russian House has recently been opened in Burkina Faso; according to Shevtsov, Rossotrudnichestvo is currently working on a similar project in Equatorial Guinea.
