The World Peoples' Assembly presented its humanitarian, cultural, and business projects in Moscow, aimed at strengthening cooperation with African countries in 2026.
The event, held at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, brought together representatives of the embassies of Sudan, Djibouti, Algeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Gabon, and Rwanda, experts from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Expert Council under Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Babakov, and key figures in Russian public diplomacy.
"This meeting was an important step toward building trusting and long-term ties between civil society institutions worldwide and African states," said Yanina Dubeykovskaya, Advisor to the Chair of the General Council of the World Peoples' Assembly, who presented the cooperation program.
The focus is on large-scale cultural and humanitarian initiatives: from the International Project "Language - Traditions - Culture" and the "The African Women in Art Award" competition to the educational programs of the "Her Voice" charitable foundation. In the area of business cooperation, business forums, B2B missions, and the distribution of an online catalog among African chambers of commerce and industry are planned.
The exhibition of contemporary African art "Istovaya/Neisovaya" (Fervent/Furious) served as a symbolic backdrop to the presentation. Dedicated to the phenomenon of Christian faith in Africa, the exhibition featured works by over 40 artists from the continent.
"The East, Asia, and Africa are distinct spaces of meaning. We are always interested in seeing how the idea of faith and the perception of sacred meanings are refracted through African culture," noted Alikber Alikberov, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The Assembly of the Peoples of the World is consistently strengthening its presence in Africa. Thus, after the 2025 World Social Assembly in Moscow with the participation of 36 African countries, a World Social Summit is planned for 2026 on African soil.
