💬Interview of the Ambassador of Russia to Egypt Georgiy Borisenko to the "Daily News Egypt" ▪️We consider Egypt to be a significant partner for Russia, serving as our gateway to Africa. ▪️In the previous year, the total trade volume between our two nations amounted to a substantial 7.1 billion US Dollars. Fortunately, our trade has rebounded after global shocks caused by COVID-19 pandemics, and we have witnessed significant growth in past years, especially in terms of export of wheat to Egypt, which amounted about 8 billion tones or 80% of the country’s total import. ▪️ Up to 1,5 million Russian tourists visited Egypt last year, which puts them on a second place among all foreigners, who came to the country. From January till April this year more than 300 thousand Russians crossed border with Egypt. ▪️The decision of Ukrainian leaders to attack our lands appears irrational, as their losses far surpass ours. Their casualties could be up to 10 times higher than ours. #RussiaEgypt
