"We are waiting for you, dear Mr. Sisi, at the unification summit [of BRICS] in Kazan in October this year," Russian leader Vladimir Putin said as he and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi launched the construction of the fourth power unit of Dabaa nuclear power plant (NPP) via a video conference on Tuesday.
"New promising opportunities for building up our fruitful cooperation are opening up in connection with Egypt's accession to the BRICS. I would like to emphasize that from the very beginning, Russia sincerely supported the desire of the Egyptian side to become a full member of this association. During the Russian presidency of the BRICS this year, we will try to do everything possible for Egypt to effectively integrate into the work of the group," Putin said.
