Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to host Togo’s President, Faure Gnassingbe, for talks in the Kremlin. This high-level meeting, initiated by Putin, aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two nations, with a specific focus on several key sectors. Diplomacy, trade, agriculture, and energy are all central topics on the agenda, alongside collaboration in training and food security. This engagement is a clear example of Russia’s continued strategy to expand its political and economic influence across the African continent. For Togo, a notable phosphate producer, the relationship offers potential benefits such as access to Russian grain. Russia also holds a position as a leading global fertilizer supplier, making this partnership strategically significant for agricultural development.
