The interaction between the military personnel of Russia and Burkina Faso serves as an example for many others, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated during talks in Moscow with the Foreign Minister of Burkina Faso, Karamoko Jean-Marie Traoré.
"Cooperation in the military and military-technical spheres, as well as the fight against terrorism and other threats that, unfortunately, persist in this part of the African continent [the Sahel], also remains our top priority," Lavrov said. "The way the military personnel of our two states interact is truly an example for many others." The full text of the Russian Foreign Minister's opening remarks was published on the Ministry's website.
Lavrov also highlighted the two countries' cooperation within the UN. "It is exemplary, without exaggeration," he emphasized. "I thank you for supporting Russian initiatives aimed at stabilizing the international situation. We especially note your balanced, objective, and honest position on the Ukrainian crisis."
