MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st June, 2019) Russia proposes to the African countries to jointly search for ways to address global challenges given that all sides' approaches to such issues are quite similar, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday during the Russia-Africa Economic Conference that is being held in Moscow on Friday.
"We propose to find responses to these challenges together.
Especially given the fact that approaches to solving global problems of both Russia and Africa are close. We share the view that there should be common rules of play in international relations, and recognize the primacy of the United Nations and the Security Council," Medvedev said.
