Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Kremlin on Tuesday said that Western countries, notably the US and France, are putting \u201cunprecedented pressure\u201d on African countries with the intention to prevent their participation in the upcoming Russia-Africa Summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther Western missions are also trying to contribute their share to these efforts in order to try to prevent the holding of this summit, to prevent the representation of African states at this summit,\u201d Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists during a press briefing.<\/p>\n

Peskov said that the policy being pursued by the US, France and other Western states \u201cshould be condemned and it is worth being condemned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, they deny African countries the sovereign right to choose partners both for expanding cooperation and interaction across various domains and for discussing pressing issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Peskov also said that it is “more important than ever\u201d for Russia to get together with African countries and continue dialogue, which he said will be discussed during the Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg on July 27-28.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in response to a question on proposals by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to extend the Black Sea Grain Initiative, Peskov said that it is \u201cimpossible\u201d to return to the grain deal because it is not being implemented.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin made it clear that Russia is ready to immediately resume the deal as soon as it is implemented,” he added.<\/p>\n

On July 17, Russia suspended its participation in the Black Sea grain deal, saying the Russian part of the agreement was not implemented. It sought the loosening of banking restrictions and the ability to ship its fertilizer before returning to the agreement.<\/p>\n

The agreement, initially signed in July of last year in Istanbul by Tu\u0308rkiye, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine, was aimed at resuming grain exports from Ukrainian ports halted due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which began in February 2022.<\/p>\n

Tu\u0308rkiye has said Western countries should try to address Russia’s complaints, and that it hopes Russia returns to the deal.<\/p>\n
