Serge Fokas, President of the Centre for Business Development and Cooperation with Russia Foundation (West Africa, Republic of Benin), spoke about the contribution of West African countries to the common cause of peace at the online event of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly on the International Day of Peace.
“I believe that organizations like us and graduates of Soviet and Russian universities should be the tools for developing relations between peoples. Together, we are creating peace between peoples,” - Serge Fokas said.
The Centre for Business Development and Cooperation with Russia in Benin has been operating since 2019.
