According to him, over the past few years, cooperation in the nuclear field has gained a new impetus.

And it needs to build power. We objectively need to expand technology, ”he said on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa forum.

According to him, a third of African countries already have legal agreements with Rosatom, another half of the states are negotiating and working conditions are being prepared.
