Russia-Africa: A New Era of Fisheries Cooperation
(RUSSIAN FEDERATION, 8/21/2024)
The Great African Expedition (GAE) Launches from Kaliningrad
On August 21, Kaliningrad will witness the commencement of the Great African Expedition (GAE), a groundbreaking project aimed at assessing fish stocks and other aquatic bioresources in African waters. This ambitious initiative marks a significant milestone in Russia-Africa relations, particularly in the field of fisheries.
Key Details:
Distinguished Attendees:
- Dmitry Patrushev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government
- Ilya Shestakov, Head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries
- Alexey Besprozvannykh, Acting Governor of the Kaliningrad Region
The GAE, elevated to the status of a federal project with support from Russia's leadership, underscores the deepening ties between Russia and Africa. As Russian President Vladimir Putin noted following the second Russia-Africa summit, "The African continent is emerging as a new center of power, with its political and economic influence growing exponentially."
Expedition Objectives:
- Conduct comprehensive studies of fish stocks in African waters
- Strengthen scientific and technical cooperation between Russia and African nations
- Explore new opportunities for the Russian fishing fleet
- Expand exports of Russian fish products
- Enhance Russia's geopolitical position in Africa
The expedition, scheduled from 2024 to 2026 as per Russian Government Order No. 1538-r (June 19, 2024), goes beyond scientific research. It represents a strategic move to foster mutually beneficial relations in the fishing industry.
By providing crucial scientific data on Africa's aquatic resources, the GAE will contribute to:
- Rational stock management
- Sustainable fishing practices
- Economic growth in both Russian and African fishing sectors
This initiative not only highlights Russia's commitment to international cooperation but also positions the country as a key partner in Africa's growing influence on the global stage. As the expedition unfolds, it promises to open new chapters in Russia-Africa relations, particularly in the domain of marine resources and sustainable fisheries.
