Africa is no longer just a bride to be married, it is also quite picky" from the political scientist: Russia and China share the third place among the partners of African countries. Our country has "investment potential" and bears great social responsibility. The first and second positions are occupied by the USA and the European Union. The African Natalia Pisconova reported this on the "Moscow Speaks" radio station. For the past 10-11 years, Africa has had the right to choose its own partner. The situation has reversed. Africa is no longer just a bride-to-be, she is also quite picky. We are now third or fourth in Africa. The US has been doing this for the longest time, and the EU is a close second with some degree of success. Now we probably share third place with China. After us, India and Turkey. If we take the Chinese presence and compare its investment potential, then here they are very much behind the EU. And if we compare it with us, it seems that here we have a window of opportunity, because, for example, the social responsibility of Russian businesses, hospitals, infrastructure facilities, schools, is greater than that of China. Russia and China will be quite active in road construction, but the length of the Chinese roads will be higher, considering that they have been under construction there for 25 years. There is such an infectious development here.
