The discussions will focus on strengthening ties between Russia and Africa, building on agreements made during past Russia-Africa summits. A special briefing will be held to address the geopolitical shifts affecting Global South and East countries, with African nations increasingly asserting their foreign policy priorities. The Russian Security Council emphasized Russia’s commitment to supporting African nations in maintaining their sovereignty and pursuing their own development paths.

This year, the forum will host over 125 delegations from more than 100 countries, alongside representatives from 14 international organizations.
