Special Representative of Ukraine for the Middle East and Africa Maksym Subkh held online consultations with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee.

This is said in a statement published on the Ukrainian Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ website.

During the negotiations, the parties discussed the issue of deepening cooperation with African partners in bilateral and multilateral formats.

“The parties exchanged views on joint issues between Ukraine and the USA to further develop cooperation between the two states in Africa, in particular in the context of countering Russian aggression. The representatives of the foreign ministries discussed the influence of non-regional actors on the political positions of African states on the issues of particular importance to the Ukrainian side,” the report says.
