Russia-Africa Summit to Focus on Payment Systems, AI and Food Security: Lavrov
Issues related to the use of artificial intelligence, payment systems and food security will be high on the agenda of the third Russia-Africa summit, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.
"Priority topics for the third summit will include information and communications technology, artificial intelligence, the digital economy, and alternative currencies to the main Western currencies, which are considered reserve currencies but are grossly abused by the West," Lavrov said at a joint press conference with Guinea-Bissau's Foreign Minister Fatumata Jau.
Lavrov added that payment systems have become an important topic both in Africa and Latin America, as well as within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and BRICS, which contributes to a liberation from the remnants of colonial dependence.
"And food security, which has always been of great
importance to the Africans. Furthermore, we will consider food security not only from the perspective of continuing and expanding Russian food and fertilizer exports, but also from the perspective of establishing agricultural production and fertilizer production on the African continent itself," Lavrov added.
He also expressed hope that all these issues will be worked out and be in the plan of action prepared for 2027-2029 and in the final declaration of the summit.
Moscow is preparing to host the third Russia-Africa Summit in October. Lavrov said that Guinea-Bissau's transitional leader, Gen. Horta Nta, will participate.
