The two-day Russia-Africa summit is to begin today, Thursday, July 27, 2023, in St. Petersburg. For Vladimir Putin, it will be a key moment as he attempts to build support in Africa while his international stature weakens. For African leaders, it could be a time to reinforce their own unity and speak with one voice.
Several African leaders are expected at the summit which takes place between Thursday and Friday in Vladimir Putin's native city.
The Kremlin said that 49 out of 54 African countries have confirmed their participation at the summit.
The summit is the second of its kind, after an inaugural summit held in 2019 in Sochi, in southern Russia.
