Russia has written off African countries’ debt amounting to more than $20 billion, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin said this on Monday at the plenary session of the international parliamentary conference with the theme, “Russia-Africa in a multipolar world.”
“Russia writes off over $20 billion debt to African states,” he said.
This is not the first time the Russian president is saying this.
In October 2022, Putin, while speaking at a plenary session of the Russia-Africa Economic Forum, said, “We provide trade preferences, cooperate within the framework of international structures, for example, through the World Food Programme, International Civil Defense Organisation and World Health Organisation.
“Our country participates in the initiative on African countries’ debt relief.
“As of now, the total amount of debt relief exceeds $20 billion,” he said.
Joint programmes that envision the use of borrowed funds for financing national economic growth projects have been launched together with a number of African countries, Putin added.
He said that a busy agenda had been planned within the framework of the forum, and that particular ideas and proposals regarding promising areas of the Russian-African cooperation would be presented to participants.
Thus, heads of Russian companies together with the Economic Development Ministry “have prepared presentations of key Russian competencies that open new possibilities for economic cooperation,” Putin had said.

6 Pics: When South Africa was White and VIBRANT! - The Hanging building!
This building still exists in Johannesburg. It was already built and looking great in the mid-1980s when I came to work in Johannesburg. Someone back then told me that the floors of this building are hanging. I did not quite know what to think of it, but its design is strange and when you look at the bottom, youll see the whole building is held up by a central column. (Just like those buildings of 911).
