Sisi discusses nuclear plant, grains trade with Russian officials

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi held talks with Russia’s trade minister and a special envoy of President Vladimir Putin on Sunday to discuss a Russian-built nuclear plant under construction on Egypt’s north coast as well as grains supply and food security.

The meeting also addressed the establishment of a Russian industrial zone inside the Suez Canal’s Economic Zone, among other investments, according to Egypt’s presidency statement.

Noteworthy, that the construction by Russia’s state-owned energy corporation Rosatom of Egypt’s first nuclear plant at El Dabaa began in July of last year, and is expected to take until at least 2030.
