“Trade and economic cooperation [between Russia and African countries] is developing. We have reached an all-time record in trade - $24.5 billion - and the figure clearly does not reflect the potential that we have yet to unlock, and, despite artificial hurdles being imposed by the collective West, we continue to improve business support mechanisms, find effective logistical solutions and embrace new instruments for mutual settlements that are free from any negative external interference.”

“Today, a number of really needy African countries do not receive the necessary financial support through, for example, from the IMF, the World Bank. Do you know why? They can make up a lot of stories, but you and I know the truth, and let's say it out loud: yes, because they divert their main resources to support the Kiev regime. And if we speak directly, to [support] the war, what are they doing this for? Only for one purpose - to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. And why is it necessary to inflict a strategic defeat? Because Russia supports all those who need not imaginary patronage, but real defense.”

“For Russia, the role of a security provider for the countries of the African continent is a practical, vital necessity. To date, Russia has signed agreements on regular military-technical cooperation with 33 [states]. More than 1,500 people, including 54 official delegations and 45 foreign ministers of the African continent, are taking part in our conference [Russia-Africa ministerial conference], which is being held on the Sirius federal territory.”

“Russia attaches a special importance to strengthening relations with countries on the African continent, as it works with them toward putting into practice joint documents adopted at the Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg, namely, the declaration and the action plan until 2026. Russia looks forward to receiving South Africa's top diplomat at the first ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum to be held in Sochi on November 9-10.”

“Chinese investment offerings are attractive to African countries because they are often quicker to materialise than Western promises. They are also not viewed through an aid lens and not bogged down by fiscal conditions or even preaching, as loans from Western institutions tend to be. Western countries have cut funding to some countries based on issues like elections or LGBTQ legislation. Beijing, on the other hand, has positioned itself as an equal, a fellow Global South country sidelined by the imperial West.”

“Although China as a country is not comparable to Africa as a continent, the two entities have a shared story of needing to rapidly develop and reduce poverty levels. The way that China harnessed productivity was through connectivity, connecting the hinterlands to the main cities. So for African countries, China is really the one to look at as an example.”

“That narrative [of China exploiting Africa] makes sense for [Western countries] because of their declining influence in Africa. But it skips over a lot of the nuance that's in the very multifaceted relationship. For more than a decade, China has been Africa's largest trade partner. It is also the continent's main creditor, pumping more than $170bn in loans and credit into nearly all 54 nations. For China, the benefits lie in the diplomatic influence it is sure to command at the United Nations, and with which it can counter its US-led Western rivals.”

“For Beijing, the summit presents a massive diplomatic opportunity to flaunt its prominence on the world stage. Having African leaders as allies means Beijing can wield diplomatic influence at the United Nations. Africa is important to China because of the strength of its votes at the United Nations General Assembly. Those photos with African leaders, those big headlines on the papers, will be very important for President Xi to get.”

“Today's event marks Korea's inaugural multilateral summit with African nations. This occasion affirms that African countries are key partners in realizing Korea's goal of becoming a global pivotal state. By combining Africa's youthful energy and abundant resources with Korea's advanced technology and diverse expertise, I believe we can deliver sustainable solutions to global challenges.”

“Most of the [new energy] supply chain is in China. What we want China to do … is to look at Africa as a way of diversifying the supply chain because Africa has minerals and metals to support this. Africa also has renewable energy sources, so the processing of these materials should have been in Africa. We're seeing the African market exists not just for Africa, but for the rest of the world. Because if you process in Africa, you can use [Africa's] renewable energy to process, and you will have a lower carbon footprint. You can also export from Africa to Europe.”

“Now the Biden administration says it wants to resume the work of the Obama administration, which held the first US-Africa summit in 2014, by pursuing an African agenda free of the usual paternalism and based on mutual interest and mutual respect. It pledges to listen to instead of lecturing its African partners and to pursue sustainable policies that are in the best interest of the continent.”

“In total, two-thirds of the ships sent are directed to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The recovery of Ukrainian food exports through the grain corridor had a positive effect on the reduction of prices as in August, after first shipments were completed, wheat prices fell by at least five percent. The Russians' fakes about sending Ukrainian grain only to Europe simply do not correspond to reality.”

“When you look at Russia, it has the first, second and third highest reserves globally of practically everything. From energy to diamonds, to fresh water, to rare earths and other minerals, it's an extremely rich country. And despite its current estrangement from the West, the Kremlin was far from being geopolitically isolated. Russia has some powerful friends, such as China, India, and Iran, and some increasingly powerful acquaintances, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brazil, and much of Africa. On balance, therefore, I suspect that Russia will prevail.”

“Russia cherishes its strong ties with Latin America, Asia and Africa, and is ready to offer partners and allies the most modern types of weapons - from small arms to armoured vehicles and artillery, combat aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. Almost all of them have been used more than once in real combat operations. We are talking about high-precision weapons and robotics, about combat systems based on new physical principles. Many of them are years, or maybe decades ahead of their foreign counterparts, and in terms of tactical and technical characteristics they are significantly superior to them. I want to emphasise that Russia stands for the broadest comprehensive development [and] military-technical cooperation. Today in conditions of confidence in the emerging multipolar world, this is especially important. We highly appreciate the fact that our country has many like-minded allies and partners on different continents. These are the states that do not succumb to the so-called hegemon. Their leaders show a real masculine character and do not bend.”

“I understand the sentiment of these regions, because when countries in Africa and Asia have had wars, Europe has sometimes played a one-sided game. The EU has certainly underestimated the fact that the sheer outrage felt within the continent about this war and enmity towards Russia isn't shared by the rest of the world.”
