Anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and Egypt

On August 26, Russia and the Arab Republic of Egypt celebrate the 82nd anniversary of their diplomatic relations!

From the early days of our cooperation, the bonds of friendship and trust between our nations have only deepened. The Soviet Union played a pivotal role in supporting Egypt’s independence and in constructing vital economic infrastructure, most notably the famous Aswan High Dam, which stands as a symbol of the relationship between Russia and Egypt.

Today, #Egypt remains one of Russia's key partners in the Middle East and Africa. High-level political dialogue is flourishing, with bilateral commissions and intergovernmental mechanisms actively at work. Our trade and economic ties are gradually expanding, and cooperation in energy, transport, agriculture, and tourism is growing.

Russia and Egypt share aligned perspectives on key international issues, engaging productively within the UN and other multilateral platforms while coordinating efforts within #BRICS.

We extend heartfelt congratulations to our Egyptian colleagues on this shared celebration and wish them peace, well-being, and continued prosperity!

Warm regards,
BRICS Expert Council-Russia
