Russian Foreign Minster Sergei Lavrov has arrived in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa - which is also seat of the African Union headquarters - on the last leg of his African tour.
The foreign ministry tweeted photos of his welcome:
His visit aims to strengthen Moscow's ties with the continent, where many countries have been reluctant to take sides and condemn Russia over the invasion of Ukraine.
Mr Lavrov is expected to meet senior government officials, members of the diplomatic community and officials from the African Union Commission.
Preparations for the upcoming Africa-Russia Summit scheduled to take place in Addis Ababa later this year are also on the agenda.
