A representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Roman Chekushev, that Russia is considering creating ports in African countries to "organize the flow of domestic goods". Options in Algeria, Senegal, Egypt, and Tanzania are being considered.
▪️In North Africa, the most promising partner is Algeria, and discussions about such projects are ongoing. As early as February, about creating a free trade zone in an Algerian port.
Military cooperation with Algeria is extensive, including arms supplies and joint naval exercises. The port could enable the deployment of an "African Corps" on Algerian territory.
