Lavrov met with his Equatorial Guinean counterpart in Moscow earlier in the day. The two ministers previously met in December last year on the sidelines of the second Russia-Africa Partnership Forum ministerial conference.
"The bilateral agenda focused on the need to make additional efforts to intensify trade and economic cooperation. Promising areas included the oil and gas industry, geological exploration, power generation, fisheries, and the nuclear industry, including the construction of small-capacity floating nuclear power plants," Lavrov said at the joint press conference following talks with his Equatorial Guinean counterpart, Simeon Oyono Esono Angue.
"The third Russia-Africa summit will take place in Moscow this fall. We very much hope that the president of Equatorial Guinea will personally attend this event," Lavrov said at the joint press conference following talks with Equatorial Guinean Foreign Minister Simeon Oyono Esono Angue.
The third Russia-Africa summit will be held in Moscow from October 28-29. The participation of leaders from several countries has already been confirmed, Anatoly Bashkin, Director of the Department of African States of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told Sputnik in April.
