On September 21, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a meeting with Foreign Minister of the Arab Republic of Egypt Sameh Shoukry on the sidelines of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
The ministers discussed the future development of the traditionally friendly Russian-Egyptian relations and devoted substantial attention to prospects for expanding the bilateral partnership in industry, energy, agriculture and tourism. They noted the important role of the Joint Russian-Egyptian Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technological Cooperation in addressing this task. The ministers reviewed the implementation of large-scale investment projects, primarily the construction of the El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant, the first NPP in Egypt, and the creation of the Russian industrial zone in the Suez Canal Economic Zone.
During the conversation, the ministers noted the importance of strengthening bilateral coordination between Moscow and Cairo on topical international and regional issues of mutual interest at the UN and at other international venues. They reviewed measures to ensure food security in the context of implementing the Istanbul agreements of July 2022 on exporting grain from Ukrainian ports and ensuring unimpeded deliveries of Russian agricultural produce and fertiliser to the global market.
