Voronezh Region Representatives Prepare to Take Part in the 2nd Russia–Africa Economic Forum
As part of the development of comprehensive relations
between Russia and Africa, the Government of Voronezh Region, as well as
representatives of small and medium-sized businesses, held a number of events
together with African partners. Thus, visits to Voronezh Region were organized
for Jeanne D'Arc Mujawamariya, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of
Rwanda to the Russian Federation, and Johnson Agara Olwa, Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Uganda to the Russian Federation, as well
as an international business mission to Cairo (Arab Republic of Egypt) for
representatives of Voronezh Region small and medium business. The events have
taken place over the last few years.
African countries are among the promising destinations
for supplies of Voronezh products. Total exports of Voronezh Region
agribusiness products to Africa in 2021 amounted to more than USD 24 million.
“Voronezh Region
is developing dynamically: figures in industry and agriculture confirm this.
Investors, including foreign ones, are implementing projects in the region, and
there is still room to invest. Voronezh Region is the region to come to. The
government of Voronezh Region strictly fulfils its financial obligations in
terms of available state support measures: preferential taxation, compensation
for infrastructure construction costs incurred, preferential land leases, and
the provision of collateral. This approach enables major Russian and foreign
companies to implement large-scale investment projects in our region. The
regional government provides comprehensive support and assistance to partners
interested in establishing long-term cooperation,” noted Alexander Gusev,
Governor of Voronezh Region.
Voronezh Region is planning to take part in the 2nd Russia–Africa
Economic Forum to be held in St. Petersburg in July 2023.
