"We are going to work hard to improve the business environment, promote investors within the country and attract them from abroad, so I urge Russian investors to come and help us change for the better, create jobs for young people," Molua stressed.
"I have spoken with a representative from the [Russian] Foreign Ministry who conveyed greetings to our Foreign Minister [Sylvie Baipo-Temon], and the person informed me that Minister Lavrov is waiting for this [the first committee meeting] here," Molua said.
"I believe this [first committee meeting] will be an opportunity to discuss with the Russian foreign minister how we can move forward to concrete actions as soon as possible," Molua said.
"I take this opportunity to thank the [Russian] authorities, who, through Russian instructors, have worked tirelessly together alongside our defense and security forces. These efforts have now allowed for the restoration of peace ... Since we will have a joint committee, military matters will also be discussed. So if the need arises, why not [increase the Russian military presence]," Molua said.
"Today, there is a general agreement that the involvement of these instructors has been crucial in strengthening our defense and security forces. Obviously, there are other allies who have also contributed, but I assure you that I have personally witnessed the tremendous work that the Russians have done," Molua said.
