🇨🇬🇷🇺 On the Russian tour of the Congolese President
After the African trip of Lavrov in early June, during which the minister visited Brazzaville, the President of the Republic of Congo, Denis Sassou Nguesso, has now come to Moscow, where he met with Vladimir Putin.
The leader of the African country called the relations with Russia friendly and solidary, and also expressed a desire to bring the cooperation between the countries to a "new level". After Moscow, the president will visit St. Petersburg, where he will discuss business and cultural ties with the business community and the governor.
🔻For Denis Sassou Nguesso, this trip is an important and timely attempt to create a "safety net", in case of increased American pressure due to the current struggle for influence in Central Africa and in neighboring DRC in particular.
The rule of the 80-year-old president is often criticized and accused of corruption in the Western media. And although no sanctions against the Congolese authorities have been imposed so far, the White House will not hesitate to apply this tool if necessary.
🔻And for our companies, there is a chance to intensify their activities in a rather promising market, at least in the energy sector. The Republic of Congo has large reserves of oil and gas, and its representatives are interested in Russian investments in the energy sector.
