Putin - in a meeting with Egyptian President al-Sisi: a lot has been done with joint efforts. The main indicator is that Russia's trade with Africa is increasing. Since 2022, its total volume has increased by 1.5 and exceeded 27 billion. Egypt is responsible for a significant part of this trade cycle. Historically, the relations between our countries are based on principles of mutual respect, consideration of interests and mutual assistance. They are developing successfully in accordance with the agreement on comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation. The trade turnover is growing steadily, despite the regional tensions - in the first 8 months of the year, its volume has already increased by 14%. In 2025, it showed record values, exceeding $10 billion for the first time.
