New Delhi, May 30 (IANS): Poor but extremely rich in natural resources, the landlocked Central African Republic (CAR) in the heart of Africa has urged Russia to establish a permanent military base on its territory. In recent weeks, when Russia delivered six military aircraft to us, it was the French who began to resent, yelling and yelling. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to push for increasing Russian-African cooperation in all dimensions - politics, security, economy, science, technology, cultural and humanitarian spheres. It is not just CAR that is witnessing an increasing Russian footprint. From the Horn of Africa to South Africa, Russia is building new partnerships and consolidating old ones by asserting that Africa can be a true and full-fledged center of emerging and multipolar world order.
