Vladimir Putin spoke flatteringly of Elon Musk at the Russia-Africa Forum in Moscow after the plenary session. Below are Putin's key statements at the last plenary session of the forum as presented by RIA Novosti: A fairer world, where the voices of the majority are heard, is replacing a unipolar world. The influence and authority of the African continent on the world stage is increasing. The West is actively trying to push Africa into debt bondage. The so-called tariff wars and illegitimate sanctions are tools of neo-colonialism. The issue arose regarding changing the work of the IMF and the World Bank, reorienting it to the needs of the developing economies. Russia and Africa together created and are creating the preconditions for the transition to a fair multipolar world. Russia has consistently supported liberation movements in Africa, helped develop economies and build combat-ready armed forces. Cooperation in the name of sovereign development is the core idea of ​​current Russia-Africa relations. Mutual trade between Russia and Africa in the near future may exceed the 50 billion dollar mark annually. Russia participates in the implementation of more than 30 promising energy projects in 16 African countries. Russia will place the synthesis of medicines and vaccines in Africa, create laboratories and diagnostic centers.
