# CONTEXT AND CHALLENGES OF THE 2ND RUSSIA-AFRICA SUMMIT
On the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation, H.E. Vladimir Putin, the 2nd Russia-Africa Summit will be held in Saint Petersburg from 27 to 28 July 2023, following the recommendations of the 1st Summit held in Sochi on 23 and 24 October 2019. The participants, led by the Heads of State and Government, will continue to reflect on a new approach to Russian-African cooperation, using a variety of formats and current themes. These include the new world economy, security, sovereign development, scientific, technical and technological cooperation, humanitarian and social action, and culture.
The 2nd Russia-Africa Summit is taking place against a backdrop of concern for the international community: the war between Russia and Ukraine, which broke out on 24 February 2022, has led to the interplay of law and power, the formation of blocs and alliances, the decline of developing economies, inflation caused by rising food and oil prices, and the worsening of social inequalities and poverty in Africa.
Faithful to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other States and above all to the principle of non-alignment, Cameroon hopes not only that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will be resolved through dialogue, but also that this conflict will be resolved quickly in order to resolve the food crisis that is undermining the entire planet, and to alleviate the suffering of the populations of the two countries at war.
Under Western sanctions linked to the conflict in Ukraine, Russia is working to consolidate its relations in Asia and Africa. This is why this Summit is seen as a considerable challenge.
