Russia continues to expand its presence on the African continent, which, following the Middle East, has become a zone of its interest.


As evidenced by a document published on the legal information portal, to assist the military department of the Central African Republic in the restoration of the armed forces, the Russian side will make a proposal to create its own representative office in the Ministry of National Defense of the CAR.



A draft of the relevant agreement has already been developed at the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and after receiving a positive assessment by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has been approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

If the agreement is signed, the Russian side will assist the CAR in providing the republic’s armed forces with weapons and combat technique, and also will send its specialists to train military personnel of the Ministry of National Defense of the Central African Republic on the use, operation and repair of this equipment and weapons.

It is assumed that the composition of the representative office will be small - only five people who will be under the jurisdiction of Russia.

The agreement stipulates that any participation of representatives of the mission in hostilities on the territory of the Central African Republic is excluded.

Also, the authorities of the republic should take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of employees of the Russian mission.
