The State Duma discussed the possibilities of cooperation between Russia and Africa in the field of energy On the topic of comprehensive cooperation between Russia and the African continent, the State Duma hosted a round table "Strategic session on legislative support for economic cooperation with African countries in the energy sector", organized by the Expert Council under Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Babakov and the African-Russian Energy Association. At the moment, the work of Russian energy companies on the territory of the African continent is complicated both due to the geopolitical situation and due to the lack of relevant experience and sufficient support measures. One of the main tasks of the round table was to identify current problems and barriers that impede the implementation of energy projects on the territory of the African continent. Andrey Gromov, a member of the Board of the African-Russian Energy Association, noted that in order to develop an integrated approach, it is necessary to work out a development roadmap. "We have already concluded partnership agreements with African business associations, which number several million enterprises across the continent, as well as with energy associations and a number of bilateral contracts at the country level of relations," he said. #Africa#Russia#energy#StateDuma
