🇷🇺🌍 Russia and African countries are together, and this is a historical process, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman says "We were [together] when Africa was seen as exclusively a source of slaves and resources. And we never looked at it that way. We looked at it as people equal to us, people with equal opportunities, their own identity. We were with Africa then, when no one believed that the process of decolonization could be accomplished," Maria Zakharova told Russian media on the sidelines of the #SPIEF2024. She recalled that the Soviet Union invested all its "colossal political capital" (which was gained after its victory in World War II) in the process of decolonization. "So, when you ask whether Africa is with us, I want to tell you that so much has been done for this continent and this continent has returned so much over the years in the form of non-solidarization with the position of the West, non-betrayal through the adoption of anti-Russian sanctions, that I think it’s impossible to answer the question in one word as it would simply not respect our so important and so deep relations with Africa," she explained. Zakharova also said that from the tour of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to African countries that ended this week, she remembered most of all the words of gratitude for the contribution of the USSR to the fight against colonialism. "It is an amazing feeling to witness sincere words that speak about the historical contribution of your country and your people to a correct and necessary process, such as the process of building a more just world order," the diplomat said.

🌍West must pay debts for centuries of exploitation of Africa, says Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Western countries do not like to pay their debts, but now other times have come, so it is necessary to discuss how the West will compensate Africa for years of bullying and exploitation, Maria Zakharova told reporters on the sidelines of #SPIEF2024. She added that the former Western colonial powers countries "don't want to do that, they do not pay their debts, they don't return the loot, they don't recognize themselves as guilty. But other times have come." The world has been given a voice in the form of an opportunity to speak to each individual country," she noted. According to her, BRICS gives countries the opportunity to receive true equality through their participation and the chance to express their position.

We hope that your close and truly professional working relationship will continue. 🤝 In practice, the mechanism of regular meetings between Russian and Chinese heads of government has proven to be effective.

The main thing has always remained unchanged − the traditions of Russian-Chinese friendship, which has stood the test of time and continues to strengthen for the benefit of the peoples of our two countries. ❗️ We can be justly proud of the fact that Russian-Chinese relations have now reached the highest level in history and have acquired the character of genuine comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction. <...> Symbolically, such a large-scale joint project as the years of culture of Russia and China has been timed to the anniversary of our bilateral relations. <...> The suggested programme is not limited to Moscow and St Petersburg, Beijing and Shanghai. It covers many cities and regions of the two countries. ☝️ A well-known song of that time – 75 years ago − is often performed today. It has a sentence that has become a catch phrase – “Russian and Chinese are brothers forever.” I am confident that we will continue strengthening harmonious Russia-China partnership in this fraternal spirit. We will continue acting in unison for the sake of the successful development of our two countries and prosperity of our peoples with a view to enhancing the authority and influence of Russia and China in the world.
