🎙Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks at the 46th meeting of the Council of Heads of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation under the Russian Foreign Ministry on interregional cooperation with African countries(April 8, 2026, Moscow)
💬 Russia and Africa are bound by long-standing and close ties.
Today, the countries of the continent are striving to finally overcome the remnants of colonial dependence and to strengthen their national sovereignty, above all in the economic and financial spheres.
Those who describe the current period as Africa’s “second awakening” after the decolonisation of the 1960s are right. It was then that political independence was proclaimed, above all thanks to the decisive role of the Soviet Union, which promoted the relevant declarations at the UN.
☝️Recent years have shown that neo-colonial dependence has by no means disappeared. Economically and financially, in terms of control over trade routes and financial flows, Africa still does not enjoy full independence and continues, in economic terms, to serve as a source of raw materials.
👉The lion’s share of added value is still generated elsewhere – to a large extent, and decisively so, in the former metropolitan powers.
African partners spoke about this more than once at the two Russia-African Union summits held in Sochi in 2019 and in St Petersburg in 2023. The decisions adopted at those summits should serve as guidelines in preparing for the next summit, which we plan to hold later this year.
All this will contribute to Africa’s economic emancipation, ensure that it reaps the proper returns and benefits from its natural resources, and support the emergence of the African continent as one of the centres of the rising #MultipolarWorld.
🤝 I would like to stress in particular that we are restoring our presence on the African continent fairly rapidly, after it declined sharply during the breakup of the Soviet Union. At present, Russia has 45 embassies operating across the continent, with four more set to open in the near future.
The key upcoming event on the foreign policy calendar is the third Russia-Africa Summit. It is due to be held in Moscow – this has been agreed – in late October this year. Preparations are currently underway. We count on the active participation of Russian regions in the relevant thematic sessions of this summit.
I would once again like to underscore the special importance we attach to the interregional dimension of Russia-Africa relations. It is a solid foundation which, as it grows stronger, helps ensure the steady development of relations with our partners at the national level.

📖Global AI Governance: One Landscape, Many Roads
A new report from Bird & Bird provides a comparative snapshot of how different regions are approaching AI governance—and what this means for global businesses. Covering the EU, UK, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia, the analysis maps current frameworks, industry-specific challenges, and emerging trends.
In parallel, the report outlines key areas companies must address to stay ahead of regulation: from defining internal responsibility and building robust risk management systems, to updating compliance processes and renegotiating AI-related contracts. As regulatory divergence deepens, this kind of cross-border understanding is no longer optional—it's strategic.

Corporate Leaders Skeptical About AI Policy Effectiveness, BRG Report Finds
According to Berkeley Research Group's Global AI Regulation Report, only 36% of corporate leaders believe current and future AI policies will provide the necessary guardrails. This report, drawing from over 200 corporate leaders and executive-level lawyers worldwide, evaluates the current AI regulatory landscape and identifies key challenges and priorities for effective AI governance.
The report highlights a significant gap in confidence regarding compliance readiness, with many organizations struggling to implement internal safeguards for responsible AI use. Notably, the retail and consumer goods sectors are particularly lagging in this aspect.
Future AI policy priorities include data integrity, security, and accuracy, though opinions vary by region and industry. Executives and respondents from the technology and financial services sectors prioritize adaptability and transparency, while lawyers and those in retail favor enforceability and strictness. The report underscores the growing divergence between the US and EU on AI regulation, complicating the creation of broad, comprehensive guidelines.
