MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th December, 2018) The pressure the United States exerts on African states in issues of choosing a defense cooperation partner is a manifestation of unscrupulous competition, Andrei Kemarsky, the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department of Africa, told Sputnik.
"The United States and other Western countries resort to various measures, including in such an important and sensitive area as defense cooperation. But this in many ways is not so much a desire to weaken our positions politically, but rather an unfair competition," the diplomat said.
