Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared on Sunday that Africa is set to become a central pillar in the emerging multipolar world order, driven by the significant global transformations currently underway.
“Besides the joint statement, we engaged in profound discussions on these issues, which are directly tied to the ongoing global transformations.
These changes will undoubtedly culminate in a multipolar world architecture, and Africa is naturally poised to become one of its key centers,” Lavrov remarked during the closing ceremony of the inaugural Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum.
