Vorwort
Russia intended the first Russia-Africa summit in 2019 to strengthen its ties with the African continent. On 27 and 28 July 2023, stock was taken in St Petersburg of the accomplishments made so far in view of Russia‘s war against Ukraine and Moscow‘s suspension of the Grain Initiative the week before. According to the Kremlin, only 17 heads of state had announced their attendance at the summit, while other African countries were represented only by ministers or ambassadors. The summit was overshadowed by the coup in Niger.
