Russia and Madagascar will open a Russian House in Antananarivo. The plan was announced by Rossotrudnichestvo, Russia’s agency for cultural and humanitarian cooperation on Tuesday.

Primakov said the new Russian House will act as a hub for cultural exchange and education, fostering dialogue between the two nations. He said Rossotrudnichestvo sees “great potential in expanding humanitarian cooperation” and called the opening “an important step” in forging closer ties.
Randrianasoloniaiko welcomed the move, stressing the need “to continue developing partnership between Madagascar and Russia in various spheres based on mutual respect, mutual benefit, and transparency.”
