Some greetings become embraces. Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of the Congo hugs Vladimir Putin, and Comoros President Azali Assoumani approaches with his arms open. Around them, the Kremlin reception follows a more formal rhythm: an announcement, a handshake and a pause for photographs.

DRM News' recording of the Moscow gathering reached roughly 59,000 views in ten hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first full day for a regular video. The footage shows African leaders and government representatives arriving for the third Russia-Africa summit's official reception.

An unseen announcer reads names and titles as delegates approach along a red-carpet corridor lined with photographers. Kenya's William Ruto poses with Putin and his spouse; Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is the final leader received.

The description places the reception within a day of plenary proceedings and bilateral meetings, including talks with el-Sisi, Ethiopia's Abiy Ahmed and Sassou Nguesso. This upload's focus, though, is the greeting line rather than those discussions.
