"Our country experienced so many difficulties, and we never had the opportunity to fully unlock our potential. There were various gangs and groups in our country," Moloua said.
"Today we have regained territories that were once lost. Through co-operation [with Russia] we were able to strengthen our defence aspect and benefit from the experience of the Russian Federation.

Meanwhile, Deputy Head of the Sudan Sovereign Council Malik Agar said that his country would also strengthen ties with Russia.
"We have a history of co-operation with Russia since the 1950s. It's continuing now. We have so many protocols which are signed together. We have so many agreements which are in co-operation, whether this is in education or health or strategic aspects," he said.
