Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo and the Russian leader had discussions in Moscow.

Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the president of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, arrived in Moscow on Thursday for an official visit. The two leaders of the two countries have met.

The two started their talks with one another in private, and then their delegates attended international consultations.

Moscow announced at the negotiations that it will reopen its embassy in Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea. This was one of the decisions agreed.

“In my opinion, this is an extremely crucial choice. It would result in political growth throughout Central Africa as well as Equatorial Guinea, according to President Obiang.

Additionally, he emphasised the significance of working together to address security concerns in the Gulf of Guinea, citing the fact that the Central African free trade area is “vulnerable to terrorist attacks.”

Obiang stated, “I would like to strengthen our cooperation in defence of our countries.”

Obiang stated that the Russian president “can attend it personally” because the Republic of Equatorial Guinea has not ratified the International Criminal Court’s treaty.

The Russian Federation’s President noted during the meeting that this year is the 55th anniversary of the two nations’ diplomatic relations. We consider you to be a reliable friend. You have made numerous trips to our nation, Vladimir Putin informed Obiang.

Putin believes there is a lot of room for collaboration between Equatorial Guinea and Russia. “We have tasks to complete and promising futures. Additionally, I expect that we will talk about a variety of topics related to our interactions with our counterparts from the opposing governments today,” he stated.
