"A ship carrying 20,000 tons of fertilizer has just arrived at the port of Lome in Togo," the diplomat said.

"The visit to Niger by a representative Russian delegation led by Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilyov last July made a significant contribution to the development of the relations," Voropayev noted.
"Overall, it can be said that our cooperation is currently on the rise. Cooperation agreements are being drafted in a wide range of areas including energy, mineral extraction, and processing. Promising areas include agriculture, healthcare, culture, and sports," the diplomat said.
