MOSCOW, February 8. /TASS/. Russia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are drafting a number of agreements to be signed during the upcoming second Russia-Africa summit this summer, Russian Ambassador to that country Alexey Sentebov said on Tuesday.
"Indeed, we have a lot of matters that require the soonest resolution. We are drafting a number of agreements to be signed on the summit’s sidelines," he said in an interview with Russian TV Channel One.
