Today, the InteRussia program's participants attended a presentation of the Valdai paper “Russia – Africa: Overcoming Challenges.” The event brought together policymakers, scholars, and thought leaders to discuss pressing issues in Russian-African relations.
What topics did our fellows delve into during the session?
Opportunities and realities of Russia’s course back to Africa;
Africa’s priorities in cooperation with Russia;
Obstacles to the development of interstate trade and investment;
The role of Egypt and Ethiopia in the BRICS agenda.
The Valdai Club presentation offered the InteRussia fellows an invaluable glimpse into the complexities of Russia-Africa relations: they witnessed how historical ties, current challenges, and future ambitions intersect in the pursuit of equitable global development.
The InteRussia program in international relations is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and MGIMO Institute for International Studies with the grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
