Russian President V.V. Putin at the plenary session of the economic and humanitarian forum "on the sidelines" of the third Russia-Africa summit specifically noted the initiative to hold the Russia-Africa Youth Forum: Russia took the initiative to create a Russian-African Youth Union, which will coordinate the cooperation of organizations and associations of young people in Russia and the countries of the continent. As I understand, the work of this new structure will be discussed in detail within the Youth Day events of our forum. On October 28, 2026, at MGIMO on the sidelines of the third summit, the grand opening of the Russia-Africa Youth Forum took place, which brought together the President of Comoros, the Prime Minister of Rwanda, the First Gentleman of Namibia and the leaders of the factions of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
