🇷🇺🇨🇬 FM Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions at a joint news conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Francophonie and Congolese Abroad of the Republic of the Congo Jean-Claude Gakosso following talks
📍Oyo, June 4, 2024
💬 I held fairly long talks with my counterpart Jean-Claude Gakosso and President of the Republic of the Congo Denis Sassou Nguesso today.
• We noted the 60th Anniversary of diplomatic relations which were established in March 1964. Since then, our ties have invariably relied on friendship between the people of the Russian Federation and the people of the Republic of the Congo, as well as mutual respect and benefit.
• We maintain a multifaceted political dialogue. In 2023, President of the Republic of the Congo Denis Sassou Nguesso took part in the second Russia-Africa summit in St Petersburg, and had a separate meeting with President Vladimir Putin.
• We will continue intensive military and military-technical cooperation in the interest of strengthening the defence capability of the Republic of the Congo which fact President Denis Sassou Nguesso has confirmed.
🌐 Our approaches to most international and regional issues overlap. The Republic of the Congo co-sponsored a number of our draft resolutions at the UNGA and traditionally supports our other initiatives. In turn, we stand behind the approaches that the Republic of Congo promotes at multilateral forums.
• We have highlighted the important role of the President of the Republic of the Congo, Denis Sassou Nguesso, as Chairperson of the African Union High-Level Committee on Libya. We support the proposals that he comes up with in this context, primarily from the point of view of providing a common platform that can be used to unite all political forces in Libya without exception in order to hold general elections.
🇺🇳 We agreed to continue our coordination at the United Nations, where Russia and the Republic of the Congo speak from the position of respect for all principles of the Charter of the UN

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at talks with Foreign Minister of Burkina Faso Karamoko Jean-Marie Traoré (Ouagadougou, June 4, 2024)
💬 Our relations are rapidly developing, largely due to the agreements reached during a meeting of our Presidents, Vladimir Putin and Captain Ibrahim Traoré, at the 2nd #RussiaAfrica Summit last year.
We are grateful for your efficient assistance in finding solutions that helped us reopen our Embassy in Ouagadougou. We are implementing a programme aimed at resuming the operation of Russian diplomatic offices in Africa. Burkina Faso was the first country where we accomplished this quickly and effectively.
🇷🇺🇧🇫 Our relations have a positive history. They are based on mutual sympathy, trust and mutual respect. We maintain active contacts at all levels. Apart from our Presidents’ meetings in St Petersburg last year, the head of Burkina Faso’s interim government, the chairman of its transitional legislative assembly, and other officials and delegations have made working visits to Russia.
Russia's State Duma has a group dedicated to interacting with Burkina Faso and other African countries. Members of the State Duma Dmitry Savelyev and Alexey Chepa, who are present here, are actively working to implement the projects of the People’s Diplomacy Centre. That NGO played a crucial role in establishing the Russian House here, which offers Russian language courses. It will continue to promote our rapprochement and the education of new government members and ministry personnel.
