SAIIA invites you to join our distinguished speakers as they reflect on the outcomes of the Russia-Africa Summit and analyse the current state of Russia-Africa relations.

This discussion will explore the summit’s implications, particularly in an increasingly divided global political landscape.

The Russia-Africa Summit, from 27 to 28 July in St. Petersburg, Russia, marks a significant event in international relations. It offers an opportunity to assess the dynamics of the Russia-Africa relationship and to consider its future trajectory.

Understanding the implications of such summits becomes crucial as we navigate the complexities of global politics. This webinar will provide a platform for insightful discussion and analysis, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the global political landscape.

Our webinar will also feature the launch of Dr Samuel Ramani’s book, ‘Russia in Africa: Resurgent Great Power or Bellicose Pretender’. This comprehensive work provides an in-depth exploration of Russia-Africa relations, making it a valuable resource for newcomers and field experts. The book’s insights will enrich our discussion on the dynamics of the Russia-Africa Summit.
