Russia-Africa: Will the Momentum of Recent Years be Used to Systematically Expand Cooperation?

Africa is the embodiment of the global majority, which Russia sees as the central subject of the new world order. The countries of the continent (not all, but many) are gradually acquiring this subjectivity, developing relations with those who are important for their social and economic growth. Igor Makarov, head of the Department of World Economy at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, writes how Russia can build an effective strategy for interaction with African countries.

Russia-Africa Cooperation: Outlook and Objectives

Russia-Africa relations have become more substantive and regular over the past year, with development strategies, plans, roadmaps and summit meetings, that have become regular despite the challenges and plans for annual Russia-Africa ministerial conferences. The range of the key Russian actors in Africa has changed, the list of Russia’s privileged African partners has been expanded and Russia’s contribution to the sovereignty and development of African countries has become more substantial. A system of Russian-African relations is gradually taking shape from chaos, dissonance and competing initiatives.

Message from the Chairman

The African elites have formed a strong desire to achieve a prominent position both in the global hierarchy and in international trade and the overall distribution of global goods, writes Valdai Club Chairman Andrey Bystritskiy.

Tanzanian New Ground for Russian Businesses. Prospects for Cooperation in Agriculture

Modern Tanzania is oriented towards pragmatism. This means keeping an equitable distance from all the ideological camps to maintain mutually beneficial cooperation. This idea is well conveyed in a Swahili saying, Biashara haigomvi, meaning “whoever wants to do business will not quarrel with anyone.” In the new millennium, Dodoma’s quest for funding opportunities has encouraged it to pursue a foreign policy that would be open to exploring a large spectrum of partnerships.
