Abstract

This article studies the African region as one of the most promising areas for the development of multilateral cooperation. Among the reasons for the growing interest of both Russia and other international players in this region are a significant resource base of hydrocarbons, the potential for the development of renewable energy sources, human capital, the vision of the continent as a stronghold for solving geostrategic problems, etc.

The sanctions context opens up new horizons for cooperation in the Russia – Africa format. The author identified key promising areas of Russian-African cooperation in the energy sector, including: the development of joint educational programs and training, ensuring the stability and security of national energy systems, and the creation of regional integration energy systems.
