Russia is interested in building up multifaceted cooperation with Egypt in all spheres, Sergey Lavrov said at a joint press conference following talks with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.
'We welcomed the dialogue between our defence ministries and security councils and noted the positive effects of regular meetings between our foreign and defence ministers in the 2+2 format. we have agreed to make arrangements to hold the next such meeting early next year," Lavrov said.
Despite a certain decline in mutual trade last year, the growth trend resumed early this year. we agree that the restoration of positive growth will be promoted by the full-scale resumption of flights between Russian cities and the Egyptian Red Sea resorts in August 2021.
"We talked about the importance of large joint investment projects, namely the construction of the El Dabaa nuclear power plant and the establishment of a Russian industrial zone in Egypt," Lavrov added.
Both minister talked at length about a number of current issues.
"Our countries are committed to the central role of the UN and to respect for the norms of international law during the settlement of existing crises and conflicts, including in the Middle East and Africa. we have agreed to continue our close interaction on issues on the agenda of the UN and other multilateral forums," Russian minister noted.
