On the same day, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov together with the President of the Pan-African Parliament received representatives of African countries - members of the official delegation of the Pan-African Parliament (Cameroon, Kenya, South and North Sudan), who came there immediately after their visit to the Duma.
Recall that the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) is a very influential structure for representatives of African countries. Incidentally, in March of this year exactly 15 years have passed since the day when the constituent session of the Pan-African Parliament -- one of the key bodies of the African Union -- opened in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia).
Russia, as is known, maintains friendly and business contacts with the Pan-African Parliament. It is planned that the Russia-Africa Inter-Parliamentary Conference will take place in the autumn of 2019.
