MOSCOW. June 23 (Interfax) - Russia has been building constructive relations with all African countries and does not want these ties to be seen as a matter for concern by anyone, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
"No, Russia has been building its good [and] constructive relations with all countries in Africa, based on mutual respect and mutual consideration of each other's concerns and problems," Peskov told reporters on Friday when commenting on a statement made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who said that Russia is destabilizing Africa.
"These relations are not targeted and cannot be targeted in any way against third countries," he said.
Russia does not want "these relations to become a matter of concern for anybody," Peskov said.
