“Russia today has the competencies that Africa needs. These are areas such as human capital development, healthcare, education, digital technology, infrastructure and energy. Thus, we have what is interesting to African countries, ”said Oreshkin.
As the minister noted, in joint projects with African states, Moscow is trying to achieve mutual benefits for all parties to the partnership.
According to Oreshkin, such a business approach distinguishes Russia from other major competitors in the market.
“The important thing is how we build relationships with African partners. We do not impose our services and do not try to vparit something. We are working to implement joint projects that will contribute to the development and improvement of the quality of life in Africa, ”the minister added.
Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin during a plenary meeting of the Russia-Africa economic forum said that the total amount of debts written off by Russia to African countries exceeded $ 20 billion.
