🎙 Opening remarks by Sergey #Lavrov during his talks with Olivier Nduhungirehe:

💬 Sergey Lavrov: The idea of establishing this Forum emerged at the Russia-Africa Summit. We are creating an increasing number of formats for engagement. This is not merely an organizational structure, but a convenient platform for meetings and discussions – not only on regional issues, but also on bilateral relations.

We value our warm relations with Rwanda. I look forward to a productive discussion of our bilateral ties, alongside the regional and international agenda.
