About the Forum
The Economic and Humanitarian Forum Russia–Africa Summit is a unique event in Russian-African relations.
The upcoming Forum is set to diversify the scope and nature of Russian-African cooperation, in turn setting the course of its long-term development.
Public discussions taking place as part of the event’s business programme will deal with the most pressing issues on the Russian-African agenda. Taking into account the full extent of cooperation between Russia and the African nations, which extends beyond economic activity, a decision was taken to expand the 2023 edition of the Forum with a significant humanitarian element.
The event will include a large-scale exhibition and a platform for holding business meetings.
