Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Africa is experiencing a “second awakening” and is playing a key role in shaping an emerging multipolar world, citing what he described as the continent’s growing political independence.<br /><br />Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov argued that African nations are increasingly pursuing sovereign policies free from external pressure, positioning themselves as influential actors in global affairs. He said this shift reflects broader changes in the international system, with power becoming more distributed beyond traditional Western centres.<br /><br />Lavrov also highlighted Russia’s expanding engagement with African countries, including cooperation in trade, energy, security and education, framing the relationship as one based on mutual respect and non-interference.<br /><br />#Lavrov #Africa #MultipolarWorld #Russia #Geopolitics #AfricaRising #PoliticalIndependence #GlobalSouth #InternationalRelations #Diplomacy #Sovereignty<br /><br />Join this channel to get access to perks:<br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpLEtz3H0jSfEneSdf1YKnw/join
