COOPERATION - Russamada TV Strengthens Russia-Madagascar Ties
Russamada TV highlights cooperation between Russia and Madagascar. Cultural diversity and cooperation links between Madagascar and Russia were at the heart of the latest episode of Russamada TV. As a guest on the program, the Chargé d'Affaires of the Russian Federation in Madagascar, Alexeï Sergueïevitch, presented the similarities between the two nations and collaboration prospects. Broadcast on a Russian television channel and produced with support from the African Initiative agency, the program also allowed the Malagasy public to discover Moscow's Red Square, a historic symbol of the Russian capital. Viewers also had the opportunity to learn about the Russian language. During the interview, the diplomat emphasized the cultural wealth that characterizes both countries. He recalled that Madagascar, like Russia, brings together different communities living in a spirit of respect and dialogue. Russia notably has nearly 190 ethnic groups and over 150 languages. According to Alexeï Sergueïevitch, this diversity is a point of convergence between the two peoples, who also share values such as hospitality, attachment to traditions, solidarity and mutual aid. The African Initiative representative, for his part, praised the support of the Russian Embassy in Madagascar in implementing the agency's projects, as well as the participation of the TVM team in developing the program. Through Russamada TV, the organizers wish to strengthen cultural exchanges and contribute to better mutual understanding between the Russian and Malagasy peoples. Fanilo Mampianintsoa
