"Ukraine views Africa not as an object of aid, but as an equal, strong subject of global politics. We are entering the continent as a 'provider' and partner of ready-made, high-tech solutions. Africa values strength, technology, and real presence — and that is exactly what we aim to provide. Mutual benefit must be at the center of our relations in all spheres," the Foreign Minister noted.
