🎙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.

🌍 The world is sinking into fossil fuels
Oil, gas, and coal account for 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of CO₂ emissions.
🔥 2024 became the hottest year in recorded history — global temperatures have risen 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time (according to @CopernicusClimate).
❄️ Consequences:
• Melting of polar ice caps
• Rising sea levels
• Intensifying storms and droughts
• Populations who contributed least to climate change are suffering the most
⛽️ Despite the crisis, consumption of oil, gas, and coal is increasing.
🌡 According to @UNEP, 2024 set a record for CO₂ emissions.
Many governments and corporations are promising “net zero,” yet in practice, fossil fuel extraction is being doubled.
🗣 “Governments are doubling fossil fuel extraction — this is double the risk for humanity and the planet,”
— said UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
📊 According to the @InfluenceMap report:
Just 57 corporations and state-owned companies were responsible for 80% of CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel and cement production between 2016 and 2022.
💡 The solution is a transition to clean energy and local resources.
But without transparency, investigative journalism, and public pressure, change will not happen.
🟢 Climate responsibility is not an abstract concept. It involves real names and real actions.
