Currently, there are five embassies of the Republic of Belarus operating in Africa, which generally cover key regions of the continent. In West Africa there is Nigeria, which is the economic leader in the region. In East Africa there is Kenya, where there are certain prospects for the Belarusian side to increase trade turnover and the entire range of cooperation. In North Africa, there is Egypt, where the Minsk automotive plant project for the establishment of assembly facilities is under consideration. South Africa is South Africa, where a project to assemble cars from Minsk Tractor Plant, which will be put on the market under the local brand, is already underway in 2021. And another thing: between South Africa and Eastern Africa is Zimbabwe, where the Belarusian embassy appeared in 2022. All these African regions have one important feature: there is a large concentration of minerals and natural resources, including rare-earth metals, which are of interest to large countries andnot only. So, for Belarus, its presence on the African continent is of a systemic nature. What is relevant in this regard? We are talking about it in the materials of the proposed study.
