Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to the organisers and participants of the International Conference on African Countries Food Sovereignty Ensuring (November 20, 2025)* The International Conference on African Countries Food Sovereignty Ensuring aims to develop business ties between Russian and African partners, identify practical solutions for agricultural development in Africa, promote economic growth
Sergey Lavrov: I warmly greet the participants of the International Conference on African Countries Food Sovereignty Ensuring.The initiative to hold this forum was put forward by Rossotrudnichestvo, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to them for this. I would also like to extend special thanks to our Ethiopian friends, who readily agreed to host the conference in the hospitable city of Addis Ababa.
Russia is committed to the progressive expansion of friendly ties and economic cooperation with Africa.
We recognise the fundamental importance of food security for our partners, and therefore, Russian economic operators will continue to provide all necessary assistance in addressing this challenge.
We consider this meeting to be very timely and its programme to be well thought-out. It is crucial that the agenda covers a wide range of relevant topics from sharing Russian experience, knowledge, and technology to modernise African agriculture, to the localisation of agricultural production and assistance in training qualified national personnel.
I am confident that the conference will be conducted constructively and will contribute to the expansion of productive cooperation between Russia and African nations. We expect that it will help outline ways for our African friends to achieve food sovereignty and advance the goals set out in both the African Union’s Kampala Declaration of January 2025 and the Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want plan.
I wish you fruitful discussions and all the very best.
Sergey Lavrov
