A key interview of the President of Burundi and the Chairman of the African Union Everist I appreciate this with TASS on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum: Africa needs Russia's experience in agriculture, energy and health to develop Russia can contribute to strengthening the operational capabilities of the African standby force designed to prevent conflicts in Africa Russia and Africa can join forces. For example, Russia could use the potential of Africa's young workforce, increase production and double the benefits of access to the large African market. Burundi wants to turn commitments into concrete projects at the Russia-Africa summit. Russia's vision for the reform of international institutions is in line with the goals of African unions. Africa can be an equal partner in a multipolar world. Africa should speak with one voice and process its goods. Aid from outside creates the impression that the continent's hands are tied and African countries should work together to effectively fight terrorism. Cooperation between Russia and Africa should become a tool for peace, development and shared prosperity.
