Greetings to the Ministerial Conference of the Russia–Africa Partnership Forum

The message reads, in part:

"African countries enjoy a growing prestige on the international stage. By pursuing a constructive and peace-loving foreign policy, they are playing an increasingly important role in addressing major international matters.

For its part, Russia attaches particular importance to strengthening traditionally friendly relations with its African partners. We are united by our aspiration to building a just multipolar world order based on genuine equality and the rule of international law, free from any form of discrimination, dictate and sanctions pressure."
