Plans to host Russian embassy

The Mercury

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, Bakary Yaou Sangare, announced.

The statement came following 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 actively searching for a suitable facility to house the new Russian diplomatic mission, adding that Niamey hopes Moscow will nominate an ambassador soon. "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.
