Sierra Leone Ambassador Agrees on Need for Common Trade Area between Africa and Asia

He said this during a discussion on the global food crisis at the Valdai Club.

“Every time the major world powers collide, we, the global South, suffer.

Why do we, the South, suffer from the problems of the North?

We, as hostages, we always suffer from what is happening in the global North, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Answering the question whether it is realistic to create a trade space between the countries of the African Union or the countries of Asia "for trade, for example, in food," the diplomat noted that "it is always possible, if there is a will."

Earlier, Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko said that Minsk would arrange supplies of potassium to the markets of Africa, Asia and South America.
