🌍 On May 25, the world celebrates #AfricaDay.
On this day in 1963, exactly 60 years ago, African governments convened in Addis Ababa for the first conference which laid the foundation for the creation of the Organisation of African Unity.
🇷🇺 Russia and Africa are united by traditional bonds of friendship, and it is symbolic that this anniversary year we are holding the second #RussiaAfrica Summit.
🤝 The Soviet Union supported the African countries in their fight for independence and played an important role in the development of the young countries on the continent. Soviet military advisers worked in Africa and military specialists have served in Angola, Ethiopia, Egypt, Mozambique and other African countries at various times.
🤝 Under pressure from the Soviet Union, the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples was adopted, which declared the need to end colonialism and any other form of discrimination.
❌ The Western powers are not just continuing to exploit the African nations, pumping out resources while counting corporate profits, but they have also been cleaning up their own ugly past.
The falsification of history is also about the cynical unpublished campaign to hush up the horrors of the colonial era. The West is trying to pretend that the suffering that many generations of Africans have gone through, as well as racism, the slave trade, murders and punitive operations, had nothing to do with them
A quickly made-up story about “events” aimed to highlight white people of the West’s concern for people of colour has been planted, but in fact, this is nothing more than a flashmob with no deep realisation of the harm. On the contrary, the ideology of a “beautiful garden” and a “wild jungle” is being promoted.
There is the pretence that everything that took place back then, in the colonial era, seemed to have happened and at the same time not to have happened at all.
☝️ Yet Africa remembers.

⚡️ Meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council
Key talking points from the speech of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin:
💬 Cooperation continues to strengthen within the #EAEU, which is consistently asserting itself as one of the independent and self-sufficient centres of the emerging multipolar world.
🔹 Our continuing efforts to build integration dictate the need to strengthen, develop and modernise the supranational tools and institutions we have created, primarily the Economic Commission, which must be able to provide quick and proper responses to changes around the world and to make professional decisions aimed at protecting our common interests and promoting mutually beneficial integration.
☝️ The EAEU should expand relations with countries that are seeking equal and mutually beneficial partnership. I am talking about our partners in Asia, the Arab world, Africa, and Latin America. I mean cooperation with multilateral associations like the CIS, the SCO, BRICS and other associations.
🔹 It is important to continue to form free trade areas with interested countries and, among other things, to encourage them to jointly use the international transaction infrastructure available to the five member-countries in national currencies and the digital currencies of the central banks.
❗️ I am confident that by continuing to act as a team, we will certainly achieve new tangible results in promoting integration cooperation in the interests of our states and peoples.

🎙 Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin’s address at the 11th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues (Moscow, May 25, 2023)
Key points:
💬 The collective West is continuing its disinformation campaign designed to blame Russia for the current crisis in the global food market.
❗️The illegal unilateral sanctions adopted by the collective West against Russia have seriously unbalanced global markets. Systemic restrictions have affected all economic operators and have disrupted traditional financial and logistics links and supply chains.
🔹 While accusing Russia of provoking famine without proof, the Americans and Europeans are not only strongly rejecting any indications of the destructive impact of their sanctions, but are also carefully sidestepping the fact that the rising prices of food and fertilisers and the unstable supplies of these goods to world markets benefits the largest Western agricultural corporations, in particular, the so-called big four.
🔹 An excellent example of the Western blockade of Russian agricultural exports is the free delivery of Russian fertilisers (262,000 tonnes) to the poorest countries, which have been stuck in the ports of Latvia, Estonia, Belgium and the Netherlands.
🇷🇺 Despite the sanctions, barriers and restrictions, Russia continues working to maintain our export potential, including by redirecting exports to friendly countries, primarily in Asia and Africa.
