summit picture
The summit is being held at Expoforum, where the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) took place 1.5 months ago. True, the differences between the two events are strong. At Russia-Africa, the stand of the Ryazan region is adjacent to paintings of women from Africa in bright dresses. There are many guests in such dresses on the forum itself. And the Rostec stand, where Russian assault rifles are on display, is adjacent to the Agroexport stand with shop windows full of food products. In front of the Expoforum itself, however, an exhibition of Russian cars is being held again. And if at SPIEF the head of Sberbank German Gref tried to start the Russian Lada Aura – however, unsuccessfully (unlike Finance Minister Anton Siluanov), then at Russia-Africa the guests were interested in how much the Lada Granta costs and whether they have an automatic transmission. “It will be in 2025,” one of the employees promised.
