Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived Monday in Guinea on his latest visit to West Africa, where coups and growing discontent with traditional allies like France and the United States have contributed to some countries' shift toward Moscow.
Lavrov has visited the African continent several times in the past couple of years as Russia seeks support — or at least neutrality — from many of its 54 countries amid Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Lavrov met with Guinea's foreign minister Morissanda Kouyaté, according to Russia's foreign ministry. Guinea's government in a statement said the meeting was to discuss areas of mutual cooperation, without elaborating.
