The third Russia-Africa summit is taking place in Moscow and Vladimir Putin spoke at the forum's plenary session. Here are some of his points: it is no coincidence that Africa is called the continent of the future; the world's demographic growth center will shift there by 2030; a multipolar world is becoming reality, an irreversible trend; the West is actively trying to push Africa into debt servitude; the Russian Federation is actively participating in efforts to improve Africa's financial health; Russia consistently advocates strengthening Africa's role in international development institutions, mainly the IMF and the World Bank. Reform in these organizations has been long overdue; Russia has long been on the path of strengthening technological sovereignty and has achieved impressive results in several fields; Russia is open to transferring modern skills and high‑tech digital knowledge to African partners; 12 of the 20 fastest‑growing economies in the world are African; trade turnover between Russia and Africa could exceed $50 billion; we now have clear and accessible confirmation that Russia is not isolated. On the contrary, it works with the global South – the future demographic and economic growth hub. It would also be nice to establish direct flights from Russian cities to vacation sites in Africa. It is very warm there in winter. And the sea is warm. If only it were not very expensive. And we will stop from the north. "השפם של פצ'ורין" במקס
