New features of the Suez Canal for the delivery of goods and will allow implementing new projects. One of them Russian and Egyptian presidents agreed during the previous meeting in February in Cairo. In the northern part of Egypt plans to build a so-called Russian industrial zone.
However, the convenient transport links – important but not the only condition for the success of this project. Industrial development requires huge amounts of energy. The Arab Republic of the electricity shortage in recent years is increasing. Russian specialists are ready to assist in solving this problem.

Another important area Cooperation between the two countries – agriculture. Year-round Russian imports from Egypt, fruits and vegetables, instead of selling wheat. Nearly half of all grain in ninety millionth Egypt – Russian, and have the opportunity to develop trade and more.
“Egyptian exporters successfully use opportunities of our market, which opened later after the adoption of Russian retaliatory restrictive measures in connection with the sanctions of the European Union. In the first half of this year, imports of food products from Egypt increased by more than 8%. In turn, Egypt is the largest consumer of Russian wheat, “- Putin said.
Russia and Egypt, said today the two leaders , we intend to continue as vigorously develop economic cooperation. According to Vladimir Putin, the previous year’s trade turnover between our countries has grown by almost half. Recently, however, these rates began to decline.
“We have agreed with the President to make the necessary efforts to weaken the influence of external factors, lead exchanges on the path of sustainable growth. Among the concrete steps to further stimulate the economy can create a free trade zone between Egypt and the Eurasian Economic Union, and the use of national currencies in mutual settlements, promoting investment cooperation and investment flows “, – said Russian President.
Travel – still one of the most important areas of economic cooperation. Over the past year the number of Russian tourists in Egypt is increasing, largely due to the fact that in the Arab Republic has become much calmer and safer.
