Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is meeting with Congolese President Denis Sassou-Nguesso on the second leg of his Africa tour. High on the agenda is the political crisis in Libya.
Sassou-Nguesso is the chair of the African Union High-Level Committee on Libya and seeks to organize an inter-Libyan summit. Congo’s top diplomat Jean-Claude Gakosso yesterday held a presser in Oyo with his Russian counterpart.
Brazaville has called for a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine.
Switzerland will host on June 15 and 16 a conference set to discuss peace. However Russia was not invited.
But, Lavrov has condemned the upcoming conference.
