 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities.

 Lavrov outlines priorities for Russia-Africa summit


Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday the upcoming Russia-Africa Summit in October will focus on expanding economic cooperation, digital technologies, and alternative financial mechanisms.

"We will judge the breakthroughs after the summit takes place. We are working not for external effect, but to ensure that our relations become more sustainable and produce concrete results, primarily in the material sphere and humanitarian cooperation," he said.


Lavrov added that the summit's priorities would include information and communication technologies, artificial intelligence, the digital economy, and expanding settlements in currencies other than major Western reserve currencies.

Lavrov said food security would remain a key topic but discussions would go beyond increasing Russian exports of food and fertilisers to Africa.
