Representatives
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Roscongress Foundation, RC-Investments
Fund and the United Nations Technology Bank for Least Developed Countries held
a series of meetings in Moscow. Also in attendance were representatives of the
Russian Investment Agency, which assisted in organizing the gathering. Among
other issues, the meeting discussed opportunities for joint cooperation during
international congress and exhibition events both in Russia and abroad.
Particularly,
the parties discussed organizing joint events with the Secritariat of the
Russia–Africa Partnership Forum, as well as holding joint technology-oriented sessions on the
sidelines of the second Russia–Africa Summit.
"We are
ready to support the UN Technology Bank and assist in reaching out to relevant
Russian science and technology organizations. The issues of information and
communication technologies, health care, and food security, which are
priorities for the Bank, are just as important for us. These questions regularly
come up at meetings of the Councils under the Secretariat of the Russia–Africa
Partnership Forum. I am convinced that our cooperation will allow the
Secretariat to work even more efficiently on these topics and help put the
achievements of the UN Technology Bank into practice," said Oleg Ozerov,
Ambassador-at-Large and Head of the Secretariat of the Russia–Africa
Partnership Forum.
The Roscongress
Foundation and the Bank agreed to sign an agreement on cooperation in the near
future and to establish a working group to further elaborate activities.
In addition,
the UN Technology Bank is interested in a strategic partnership with the
Russian Federation, which could include exchange programmes for innovation and
research, state-of-the-art technology, as well as expertise in a number of
scientific areas of mutual interest.
"The
UN Technology Bank pays a great deal of attention to the development of science
and technology in Africa. We are confident that as part of our comprehensive
work on the preparation of the second Russia–Africa Summit in 2022, the Bank
will become a reliable partner in organizing events dedicated to
Russian-African scientific and technological cooperation," said
Alexandra Ogneva, Deputy CEO of the Roscongress Foundation, Head of the
International and Regional Cooperation Directorate.
"It
is important for us to continuously develop our partnerships network. We
establish cooperation with organizations that can help and support less
developed countries with their technological and innovative potential. I am
sure that working in Russia and, in particular, at the events of the
Roscongress Foundation will help us to use the country's opportunities for the
benefit of others," said Joshua Setipa, Managing Director of the UN
Technology Bank.
The Bank's
strategic partnership with Russia is expected to boost Russian-African
cooperation, which President Vladimir Putin listed as first one of Russia's top
foreign policy priorities during the Russia–Africa Summit in October 2019.
