Nuclear Power, Energy, and Security: Putin to Meet with CAR President

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to hold talks with the President of the Central African Republic (CAR) to discuss the resumption of a project to construct a small nuclear power plant (NPP) in the CAR. The project is being implemented by the Russian state corporation Rosatom. The negotiations are scheduled to take place in the near future. The CAR possesses significant uranium reserves, which makes the project strategically important. The primary objective of the meeting is to expand Russian influence in the African energy sector, particularly in the field of nuclear energy.
