🌍 On Nov 20, Africa Industrialization Day is observed across the globe.
In 1989, the UN General Assembly, seeing industrialization as a way of eradicating poverty and improving African people’s well-being, instituted this commemorative date.
☝️🇷🇺 Our country made a substantial contribution to developing Africa’s industrial capacity. The Soviet Union spearheaded the decolonization process on the continent and provided large-scale economic and technological assistance to African countries as they built multi-sectoral national economies.
Soviet specialists helped build about 600 enterprises on the continent, including the famous Aswan Hydropower Plant in Egypt, a bauxite mining facility in Guinea, an ore mining and processing works in the Republic of the Congo and the Capanda Hydropower Plant in Angola.
❗️ While providing assistance, the Soviet Union always prioritzed the sovereignty of African countries over their natural resources and ending the discrimination they faced in the international division of labour.
Former colonial empires dismantled raw materials processing enterprises on the way out, whereas the Soviet Union established new production facilities and trained specialists. About 480,000 Africans received such training during these years of cooperation.
🇷🇺🤝🌍 Today, Russia continues to provide all manner of assistance to support the independent development of many African countries and to share its unique expertise in the power industry, transportation, healthcare and other areas.
