🎙 Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Robert Dussey:

💬 Mr Minister,

It is a pleasure to meet with you. Allow me first to offer my congratulations on your reappointment.

I look forward to reviewing the progress made in implementing the agreements reached during the meeting, this November, between President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the Council of Ministers of Togo Faure Gnassingbé.

The signing, on November 19, of the important Agreement on the Fundamentals of Relations between the Russian Federation and the Togolese Republic has established a firm legal foundation for our further collaboration.

Today, on the sidelines of the 2nd Ministerial Conference of the Russia–Africa Partnership Forum, we have an opportunity to discuss our interaction and to identify avenues for bilateral cooperation in regional and international affairs.
