Cape Times
|April 07, 2025
NIGER has confirmed its intention to host a Russian embassy for the first time in over three decades, the West African country’s foreign minister, Bakum Yaou Sangare, announced.
-
The statement came during a joint press conference in Moscow following talks between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his counterparts from Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso.
Sangare stated that Niger is also ready to search for a suitable facility to house the new Russian diplomatic mission, adding that Niamey hopes Moscow will soon nominate an ambassador, as “necessary decisions have been made,” the minister said.
“We had to close our embassy (in Russia) in the 1990s, and later realised that this was a mistake,” he remarked.
