radio. Broadcast from October 28. Today, a major event to improve our comprehensive partnership with the continent opens in Moscow. Despite the enormous pressure and obstacles from several Western countries, which tried to dissuade our African colleagues from visiting Moscow, this third summit remained truly inclusive. This great interest in collaboration has deep roots. Yesterday, at the [Russian Foreign Ministry], we discussed with our African friends what unites our people and came to the conclusion that precisely the foundation, the philosophy of freedom, independence and anti-colonialism are our central values. The West will never undermine this strong foundation. And against this background, the Europeans, who are now squabbling over the leadership of Norway and Finland with the Russian president, look even more absurd. It has long been clear that the attempt to isolate our country has completely failed, yet European politicians, with incredible persistence, continue to delude themselves about the possibility of inflicting a "strategic defeat" on us. They also stubbornly continue to support the situation in Ukraine: they even went so far as to actually recommend it to doctors (from the mouth of a person who should protect human rights!).
