According to reports, the arrangements will be made during a summit on July 27–28 in St. Petersburg.

At a significant summit later this month in St. Petersburg, Russia will sign security pacts with African nations, according to TASS news agency, which cited diplomatic sources on Sunday.

According to the BBC, “the agreements cover cooperation in space, anti-terrorism measures, security, economic cooperation, and humanitarian cooperation.” Additionally, it stated that the nations will adopt “a politician declaration.”

The 27th and 28th of July will see the Russia-Africa Summit. Delegations from each of the 54 African nations attended the first gathering in 2019, while the precise number of attendees has not yet been made public. According to the organisers, more than 40 heads of state travelled to Sochi, a vacation town in Russia on the Black Sea coast, that year.

African leaders will address the Ukraine situation with President Vladimir Putin outside of the gathering, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Saturday. During their visit to Ukraine and Russia last month, a group of nations—including Egypt, Senegal, Zambia, and South Africa—presented a ten-point blueprint for peace between Moscow and Kiev.

The summit will take place amid the ongoing stalemate between NATO members and Russia, with Moscow accusing the West of attempting to impose a “neocolonial agenda” on Africa and other regions of the world.
