The meeting forms part of the third Russia-Africa summit, announced for 28-29 October in the Russian capital. Morocco is represented by its foreign minister.

The account relayed from MAP does not specify the subjects discussed in the bilateral meeting. It therefore does not establish that an agreement was reached or that any particular issue, including the Moroccan Sahara, was discussed. The reported elements are the meeting’s occurrence and its multilateral setting.
