On January 27, on the sidelines of the 56th Cairo International Book Fair under the auspices of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a symposium was held with the participation of the Russian Ambassador to Egypt, Georgy Borisenko, entitled: “Russia: Foreseeing the Future of International Relations”.

💬In his speech, Georgy Borisenko spoke in detail about the roots of the Ukrainian crisis and the current Russian position on it. It was emphasized that despite numerous Russian attempts to resolve the conflict, the Kiev regime, with the support of Western sponsors, has been carrying out terrorist operations against Russian speakers in Donbass for many years and has refused to take into account Russia’s legitimate demands to ensure national security. This is what became the main reason for launching the special military operation.

His Excellency the Russian Ambassador welcomed Egypt’s full membership in the BRICS group in January 2024, which coincided with the beginning of Russia’s presidency in this group. It was emphasized that one of the main tasks of the Russian presidency in BRICS is the successful integration of its new participants for more fruitful collective interaction, including through the establishment of a mechanism for mutual settlements in national currencies.

According to bilateral relations, the gradual strengthening of economic cooperation was noted, including increasing the volume of mutual trade. Taking into account Russia’s leadership in grain supplies to Egyptian partners in 2024, the readiness to continue fulfilling all contractual obligations was confirmed despite Western sanctions against Russia. Georgy Borisenko said that the first nuclear power plant “Dabaa” on the Mediterranean coast, which is being built by the Russian state corporation “Rosatom”, will become a new symbol of close friendship between the two peoples.
