The Volgograd Region is a region in Russia in the south-east of the East European Plain, and a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

The Volgograd Region is one of Russia’s most economically developed regions and has a balanced economic structure. Its diversified agriculture is coupled with a wide range of different industries, and oil and gas reserves. Two of Russia’s largest navigable rivers flow through the region, connected by the Volga–Don Canal. The Volga Hydroelectric Station is also situated in the region.

The Volgograd Region has an advantageous geographical position as the main gateway to the south of Russia, with access to Iran, the Caucasus and Kazakhstan, and in the opposite direction to Central Russia and the Volga Region. Two of the most important rivers in European Russia, the Volga and the Don, also connect in the region through the Volga–Don Canal, which provides access to the Caspian Sea, the White Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

The Astrakhan Region is located in the Caspian Sea Region at the crossroads of the “North—South” and “West—East” international transport corridors.

“We highly value the results of our joint work at the summit. I am sure the achieved results are creating a good foundation for further deepening the Russia-Africa partnership in the interests of our nations’ prosperity and wellbeing.”

President of the Russian Federation
Vladimir Putin

The Russia–Africa Summit, which is taking place in Sochi on 23–24 October 2019, encapsulates the historically friendly relations between the African continent and the Russian Federation. This Summit carries great significance as it is the first of its kind to emerge during a period of major global and international transformations. In response to the aspirations of the people it is representing, the Summit intends to build a comprehensive framework for expanding Russian–African relations into broader horizons of joint cooperation across different fields.

The African nations and Russia share a common understanding of international relations, based on the principles of respect for the rule of international law, equality, non-interference in the internal affairs of states, and the peaceful resolution of disputes. Both sides affirm their commitment to support multilateral actions to oppose new international threats, be they terrorism and extremism in all their forms, or declining growth rates. The two sides share a firm conviction regarding the importance of developing trade flows and supporting mutual investment in such a way as to ensure security, peace and development for the African and Russian people.

African countries have huge potential and opportunities that will allow them, once efforts to streamline their economies have been achieved, to emerge as real global players. In recent years, the nations of this continent have achieved major successes spanning the political, economic, social and administrative spheres. Africa has flourished in terms of growth over the past decade, reaching a continent-wide growth rate of 3.55% in 2018.

The African Union Summit, which was held in Niger in July 2019, continued the efforts of the African countries and saw the African Continental Free Trade Agreement come into force, along with its operational instruments. The agreement is one of the key objectives of Agenda 2063, an African development strategy that has been created to address the African people’s desire for prosperity and decent living standards.

These successes are opening up wide-ranging prospects for cooperation between African countries and the Russian Federation, and confirm the determination of African governments and their people to cooperate with multiple partners in order to establish mutually beneficial relations.

With this in mind, we express our hopes that the Russia–Africa Summit will help in the establishment of constructive strategic relations, based on partnership between two sides across various fields, and in the service of fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the African people and their friends in Russia.
