🇷🇺🇪🇬📞 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi held a telephone conversation.
Vladimir Putin thanked Abdel Fattah El-Sisi for Egypt's comprehensive assistance in the evacuation of Russian citizens from the Gaza Strip.
The Leaders continued their discussion of the highly aggravated situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone.

The Leaders of Russia and Egypt will stay in contact.

🇷🇺🇪🇬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Egypt Abdel Fattah el-Sisi took part in a ceremony, held via videoconference, for pouring the first concrete into the foundation of the fourth power unit of the Egyptian El-Dabaa NPP.
💬 President Putin: I would like to warmly welcome you and all the participants in today's ceremony for pouring the first concrete into the foundation of the fourth power unit of the El-Dabaa nuclear power plant.
In fact, this is the beginning of a new stage in the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Egypt, a project of major importance for Russian-Egyptian relations, which will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the development of the Egyptian economy and help strengthen its energy base.
We will contribute to the creation of modern production facilities, skilled jobs, and the resolution of social issues. <...> This is truly a flagship project in the best traditions of our bilateral cooperation.
Let me remind you that in the second half of the last century, Soviet specialists played a very active role in restoring Egypt's economy and improving its defence capability, and helped build large industrial and energy facilities, such as the Aswan Dam.
Many jointly created enterprises are still operating successfully and continue to bring tangible benefits to the people of Egypt. The multifaceted and mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries continues to develop consistently. It is true that Egypt is our close friend and strategic partner.

New promising opportunities for boosting our fruitful cooperation are emerging in connection with Egypt’s membership in BRICS. <...>
During Russia’s BRICS chairmanship this year, we will do our best to help Egypt in joining the organisation’s work in the most efficient way.
