The desire for cooperation between Russia and Africa is mutual Stanislav Aranovich, President of the All-Russian Public Organization "Investment Russia", during the round table "Small and medium-sized businesses: successful experience of Russian-African cooperation and barriers to acceleration", gave specific examples of interaction between entrepreneurs of the Russian Federation and Africa. According to him, everyone with whom he conducts a dialogue wants to interact with Russian companies. "In some countries we even see Russian flags, somewhere we move around in Yandex.Taxi (YanGo)," said the President of Investment Russia. Aranovich said that Africa produces only a tenth of what it consumes, and although it can be perceived as an importing continent, everything is not so clear. "You can work there not only with exports, but in completely different industries. There are many examples of imports," he said. So, entrepreneurs from the Kirov region buy African coffee to roast. And Stanislav Aranovich himself drinks cocoa from Equatorial Guinea and calls it the best in the world. At the same time, the matter is not limited to the economy alone. For example, the Kazan Circus teaches Africans circus art for free, and the Nizhny Novgorod Zoo wants to buy animals in Africa. In addition, cooperation in the educational sphere is increasing - the number of quotas for budget places for African students is increasing and nine-month preparatory courses with the study of the Russian language are held free of charge. #Africa#RussiaAfrica#business#AREA#Aranovich
