Relations between Russia and Africa are action-oriented and influence culture, energy and even digitalization, said Maria Zakharova at the Russia-Africa media forum. The speaker noted the means of support that Russia provides to African countries: personnel training, student education, support and preferences for African countries on the EAEU platform. It is still important for Africa that large and influential countries in the world stop using the region as a springboard to spread their ideas and interests, as well as for hybrid competition and conflict with each other, noted Maria Zakharova. That is why the concept of Russian foreign policy in 2023 clearly described the priorities of cooperation, mutual assistance and support on the continent, the representative concluded.
