Vladimir Putin said Togo-Russia trade reached $852 million in 2025, about 480 billion CFA francs, during a meeting with Faure Gnassingbé in Moscow on October 30, 2026. The figure is more than eight times the $103.7 million recorded in 2024 according to the OEC, but neither the breakdown of trade nor the reasons for the increase were specified. The countries plan to expand cooperation in energy, transport, logistics, agriculture and geological prospecting, after signing seven memorandums of understanding since November 2025. Closer ties also include a bilateral agreement that took effect in September 2026 and the resumption of activities at Russia’s embassy in Lomé in August.
