Third Russia–Africa Summit convenes in Moscow as leaders adopt cooperation documents

The third Russia–Africa Summit convened in Moscow on 28–29 October, with leaders adopting cooperation documents and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi outlining Cairo's development vision.

The summit's plenary session adopted a final declaration, an AI civil-use cooperation declaration, and a 2027–2029 action plan for the Russia–Africa Partnership Forum.
Sisi said Egypt's development vision for Africa rests on five axes: strategic corridors, intra-African trade, energy connectivity, water and food security, and artificial intelligence cooperation.
Sisi rejected the militarization of the Red Sea by non-littoral states and called for UN Security Council reform in line with the Ezulwini Consensus.
Putin said Russia backs African state sovereignty, and reported that Russia–Africa trade reached $27 billion last year.
