Russia is deepening its diplomatic footprint in Africa with plans to expand its visa-free travel network.


Negotiations are underway to include Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini in the next phase of agreements.


If finalized, the move will raise the number of African countries with visa-free access for Russians from 11 to 15.

The initiative is expected to strengthen tourism, trade, and geopolitical cooperation between Russia and African nations.
