Putin - at a press conference following the Russia-Africa summit: it cannot but cause satisfaction that 21 leaders of African countries, delegations at higher levels than the vast majority of countries on the continent, and the heads of almost all the leading African integration structures participated in the Moscow summit. The motto of the current summit is "for peace, security and development". In fact, this motto determined the course and topics of our discussions. We discussed a wide range of issues of Russian-African interaction both in the international arena and directly in the course of cooperation between Russia and Africa in politics, economy and the humanitarian sphere.
