Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmitry Kuleba, will visit three African countries next week to boost support for Kiev in its war against Russia, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.

Kuleba will visit Malawi, Zambia and Mauritius between August 4 and 8. This will be the minister's fourth diplomatic tour to Africa in the last two years.

"All meetings will be aimed at developing bilateral relations, based on mutual respect and interests. Among the key topics will be the participation of African states in global efforts to restore a just peace for Ukraine and the world," the ministry's announcement states.

Several African countries participated in the Ukraine peace conference held in Switzerland in June. Most of them were unwilling to join Western efforts to isolate Russia, which is an important supplier of energy and goods.

Kuleba will also discuss deliveries of Ukrainian grain to the region and the participation of African companies in the reconstruction of Ukraine, the ministry added.
