Representatives of Russian companies will also participate to discuss current issues on the international parliamentary agenda. On the margins of the parliamentary meeting, discussions are planned on the following topics: Western neo-colonialism: how to avoid history repeating itself; parliamentary support for cooperation in science and education; legislative solutions to economic challenges; common security: opportunities and contributions of parliaments.

The latter resulted in a large number of mutually beneficial agreements between Russia and African countries, which have been successfully implemented over the past three years.
