Africa, often referred to as the cradle of humankind, is a continent blessed with immense natural resources, from fertile arable land to abundant water sources, oil, natural gas, minerals, lush forests, and diverse wildlife. With 54 sovereign countries, it holds a substantial share of the world's renewable and non-renewable resources. Despite its potential, many African nations have faced challenges in achieving stability, overcoming corruption, violence, and authoritarianism.
A significant milestone in this evolving relationship was the Russia-Africa Summit, where a final declaration was adopted. This declaration outlines ambitious goals and objectives for enhancing Russian-African cooperation across various sectors, from politics, security, and the economy to science, technology, culture, and humanitarian endeavors.
The bond between Russia and Africa is not a newfound one. Russia has consistently supported national liberation movements across the African continent. The country has played a pivotal role in the formation of young states and the development of their economies. Additionally, Russia has provided assistance in building capable armed forces. Importantly, this partnership has been built on the principles of mutual respect and non-interference in internal affairs.
