AMIDST ECONOMIC SANCTIONS, RUSSIA’S TRADE INCREASES BY 35% IN AFRICA

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the trade turnover between Russia and African countries had increased by almost 35% in the first half of 2023 despite international sanctions and the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking at a trilateral meeting with the Chairperson of the African Union, President of the Union of Comoros Azali Assoumani, and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat, Putin said “despite the difficulties related to the coronavirus pandemic and the imposition of illegal sanctions against Russia, it was possible to ensure the growth in the pace of trade and economic ties with African countries”.

Putin added last year, “the volume of mutual trade amounted to about $18 billion.”

“In the first half of this year, the trade turnover increased by almost 35%,” Putin noted.

“Russia continues to be a reliable supplier of food to Africa,” he added, saying that in 2022, Russian exports of this group of goods had amounted to $4.7 billion.”

Some African leaders arrived in Russia for a summit with Putin as he seeks allies amid the military operation in Ukraine, while the Kremlin accused Western powers of “outrageous” efforts to pressure other African heads of state not to attend.

Putin has billed the two-day summit that opens Thursday in St. Petersburg as a major event that would help bolster ties with a continent of about 1.3 billion people that is increasingly assertive on the global stage.

But Azali Assoumani told Putin during the meeting that they were not to stop anticipation of end to Ukraine-Russia crisis “we are not going to close our eyes to the issue between Russia and Ukraine, because these are two countries with which we have partnerships, and we can see the negative consequences around the world, specifically in Africa.” Azali emphasized.
