\"\"ISLAMABAD: Monitoring Desk – Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf, in a speech delivered on Sunday 10 Nov 2024, during the Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in Sochi, underscored the growing relationship between Africa and Russia, emphasising the importance of continued collaboration in several critical areas.<\/h5>\n
FM Attaf praised Russia\u2019s contributions to Africa\u2019s development, particularly its role in strengthening the capacities of independent African nations and supporting the establishment of their national economies.<\/h5>\n
\u201cWe hope today to elevate our partnership to the highest possible levels, based on the commitment and shared vision to contribute to the creation of a global system in which each of our countries has its rightful share of security, stability, and prosperity,\u201d he said.<\/h5>\n
The Algerian Foreign Minister highlighted the comprehensive nature of the projects and initiatives discussed at the conference, stressing that they cover all areas of cooperation and are closely aligned with Africa\u2019s current development needs and aspirations.<\/h5>\n
\u201cWe must strengthen the foundations of economic development in Africa and direct our efforts towards accelerating the implementation of the 2030 UN Agenda and the 2063 African Agenda, as Africa\u2019s lag in sustainable development will significantly prolong the challenges facing our continent\u2019s countries and peoples,\u201d FM Attaf added.<\/h5>\n
Key priorities for collaboration discussed at the meeting included completing the decolonisation process in Africa, combating terrorism and cross-border crimes, promoting African-led solutions to African problems, ending Africa\u2019s marginalisation in global institutions, and accelerating economic development.<\/h5>\n
Moreover, Attaf reiterated Algeria\u2019s support for enhancing trade relations between Africa and Russia, as well as increasing Russian investments in African countries.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u201cDespite the challenges and threats it faces, Africa continues to prove itself as a committed and reliable partner, consistently working to build balanced relationships that advance sustainable development for all, without exclusion, marginalisation, or discrimination,\u201d the statement concluded.\"\"<\/h5>\n
