Putin spoke about the interest of Russian companies to transfer part of their production to Africa. "This is fully in line with Russia's interests, especially in today's conditions, when many sanctions are applied to the Russian economy and Russian enterprises. Our companies are simply interested in transferring certain production facilities to African countries, this is a mutual interest," the Russian president said during the plenary session of the Russia-Africa summit. Vladimir Putin also called Russia and Africa natural allies in building a multipolar world order, freed from dictatorship, and said that the positions of Russia and African countries on the most urgent issues of world politics are close or overlap. Russia was and remains interested in African countries that defend their sovereignty, and that Russian businesses in Africa are honest and respectful, and do not behave in a colonialist manner, the country's president noted.
