On 3rd – 4th October 2026, the 18th Regional Conference of Russian Compatriots from Africa and the Middle East took place in Tunis, Tunisia. The meeting brought together 48 public figures from 30 countries, including heads of coordinating councils of the Russian compatriots’ organizations.
Mr A.Yu. Zolotov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Tunisia, and Mr G.A. Ovechko, Director of the Department for Relations with Compatriots Abroad of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, greeted the participants in the conference. Taking part in the meeting were also representatives of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, the Rossotrudnichestvo Federal Agency and the Russian Orthodox Church.
Among those who spoke at the conference opening was Archpriest Dimitry Netsvetayev, Rector of the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Tunis.
As the website of the Patriarchal Exarchate of Africa reports, citing the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the conference allowed coordinating bodies of the Russian diasporas in the region to “synchronize their watches.” They agreed to develop cooperation and outlined their plans for the future.
