Previous week, Russia hosted Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum, a unique event in Russian-African relations. It took place in St. Petersburg on July 27-28 2023 🇷🇺
Alabuga Start team headed by the project leader for HR held meetings with representatives of various target countries, in particular with
Moses Kizige, Ambassador of the Republic of Uganda to the Russian Federation,
