A meeting was held in Moscow between Anton Kobyakov,
Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, and Nazih El Naggary,
Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt to Russia.
The discussion
focused on the development of bilateral relations in the trade and economic
sectors, as well as the participation of Egyptian representatives in major
business events in Russia, including the key event of Russia’s BRICS
chairmanship, the BRICS Summit, scheduled to be held in Kazan on 22–24 October
2024.
“Cooperation with Egypt is gaining significant
momentum, opening up broad opportunities for enhancing business collaboration
between our countries. We see great potential for joint projects in the fields
of energy, agriculture, tourism, and infrastructure. I believe that promising
new opportunities for expanding our fruitful partnership also exist within the
framework of cooperation under the BRICS association, which Egypt joined during
Russia’s chairmanship year,” emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President
of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee
for Russia’s BRICS chairmanship in 2024.
The parties
emphasized the importance of enhancing cooperation between the two countries by
leveraging opportunities to promote Egypt’s investment potential at key
business and sectoral events in Russia, organized by the Roscongress
Foundation. Specifically, they discussed the participation of an Egyptian
delegation in the business programme of the Russian Energy Week Forum, scheduled
for 26–28 September 2024, in Moscow.
“Since 2022, Egypt has participated annually in the
St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, and we are convinced that this
event is an important platform for strengthening our economic ties with Russia.
The participation of a delegation of Egyptian entrepreneurs not only boosts
trade and investment relations but also creates conditions for the development
of integration and cultural exchange between our countries at various levels,” noted Nazih El
Naggary, Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt to Russia.
Given the
significant increase in tourist flows between the countries, one of the topics
discussed was Egypt’s full-scale participation in the Let’s Travel! Russian
Tourism Forum, including the organization of an exhibition stand. This approach
would not only present Egypt as a promising travel destination but also
showcase investment projects in the tourism sector and host its own event
within the Forum.
