Russian Ambassador to the CAR Alexander Bikantov did not rule out the possibility of signing a number of contracts on the sidelines of the summit. On the agenda is the issue of fuel supplies.
It is also possible to discuss the supply of grain. The Central African Republic did not apply to the Russian Federation on the issue of sending grain and fertilizers free of charge. However, Putin said the day before that Russia was ready to supply Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic and Eritrea with 25,000-50,000 tons of grain for free in the coming months, as well as provide free delivery.
