"We will talk about our bilateral agenda, including issues of cooperation in the field of energy. The construction of a nuclear power plant is underway. There is an interest in further developing cooperation in the peaceful use of atomic energy," Overchuk told reporters.
Overchuk also highlighted Egypt's role as a traditional importer of Russian grain and wheat, emphasizing the importance of Egyptian food imports for Russia. Additionally, he said that tourism would be discussed, acknowledging Egypt as a leading tourist destination for Russian citizens.
