Russia Says Upcoming Putin–Trump Summit an Opportunity to Discuss Ukraine, Bilateral Relations
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that the anticipated summit between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump will provide an opportunity to address a wide range of issues, including the crisis in Ukraine and the overall state of bilateral dialogue.
In a statement, the ministry emphasized that the meeting — whose date and venue have yet to be officially confirmed — could serve as a platform for both leaders to engage in "comprehensive discussions" aimed at easing tensions and exploring areas of mutual interest.
"From our perspective, the summit will be a chance to raise all matters on the agenda, from regional conflicts to strategic stability, with the Ukrainian crisis and the state of Russia–U.S. relations being central topics," the ministry noted.
The announcement comes amid ongoing strains between Moscow and Washington over a host of geopolitical disputes, including sanctions, military deployments in Eastern Europe, and competing positions on global security issues.
While no official agenda has been released, analysts suggest the meeting could mark a rare opening for direct dialogue between the two powers at the highest level, potentially influencing the trajectory of U.S.–Russia relations in the coming months.

Egypt's Population Reaches 108 Million: CAPMAS
Taarek Refaat Egypt's domestic population has officially surpassed 108 million, according to the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). The figure, announced Saturday, reflects an increase of one million people since November 2, 2024, when the population stood at 107 million. CAPMAS noted that the new million was added in 287 days, or nine months and 17 days, compared to 268 days for the previous million and 250 days for the million before that, indicating a gradual slowdown in the pace of population growth. The agency attributed the trend to a decline in daily birth averages. During the most recent period, Egypt recorded about 5,165 births per day, down from 5,385 in the preceding million increase, and 5,599 in the million before that. Between November 2024 and mid-August 2025, Egypt registered 1.482 million births, the equivalent of 215 births per hour, or 3.6 births per minute, meaning one new child is born every 16.7 seconds. The announcement comes amid government efforts to address population growth, which officials have long described as a central challenge to Egypt's development goals. Earlier this month, CAPMAS also reported that the country's unemployment rate dropped to 6.1% in the second quarter of 2025, suggesting a gradual improvement in labor market dynamics despite persistent demographic pressures. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Egypt Records Highest-Ever Primary Surplus of EGP 629 Billion in FY2024/25
Taarek Refaat Egypt has achieved its largest-ever primary budget surplus, recording EGP 629 billion ($13.1 billion) in the fiscal year 2024/25, equivalent to 3.6% of GDP, according to a statement released Saturday by the Egyptian Presidency. The figure marks an 80% jump compared to the EGP 350 billion surplus registered in 2023/24. Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk presented the results during a meeting with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, attended by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, stressing that the surplus was secured despite significant external shocks. Among the challenges, the government highlighted a sharp 60% drop in Suez Canal revenues compared to budget forecasts, resulting in a shortfall of around EGP 145 billion. Nevertheless, Kouchouk said the strong fiscal outcome was accompanied by robust improvements in Egypt's broader economic indicators, including a surge in private investment, manufacturing, and export activity. The statement also revealed that Egypt achieved its highest growth in tax revenues in years, climbing 35% to reach nearly EGP 2.2 trillion in FY2024/25. Officials credited the increase to expanded tax facilities, a broadened tax base, and strengthened trust and cooperation with the business community. Overall revenues grew 29% year-on-year, while primary expenditures rose 16.3%, underscoring what the government described as a more efficient fiscal management strategy aimed at consolidating the state budget. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
