Moscow Gostiny Dvor will host the Russia–Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum on 28–29 October 2026, as part of the Third Russia–Africa Summit.

Gostiny Dvor is a historic venue in the very centre of Moscow, in the Kitay-Gorod neighbourhood near Red Square, the Kremlin, and Zaryadye Park. For centuries, this legendary space has been linked to trade, business deals, and international ties. And now it will become a meeting place for official representatives of Russia and African nations.

Throughout the years, Gostiny Dvor has been a place of trade, business negotiations, and meetings of merchants, diplomats, and travellers. This year, the platform will unite participants in the Russia–Africa dialogue and become a space for discussing pressing issues of economic and humanitarian cooperation.

The Forum will continue its course towards the comprehensive development of Russia–Africa relations and the development of practical solutions aimed at strengthening the multifaceted partnership between the Russian Federation and the countries of Africa.

“We highly value the results of our joint work at the summit. I am sure the achieved results are creating a good foundation for further deepening the Russia-Africa partnership in the interests of our nations’ prosperity and wellbeing.”
