Egypt set to host Sun City, Russia's unprecedented industrial hub
Egyptian Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, Hassan al-Khatib, and Russian Minister of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov, witnessed the signing of the usufruct contract for the Russian Industrial Zone in the Suez Canal Economic Zone. The establishment of the Russian Industrial Zone in Egypt marks a unique undertaking, being Russia's first such venture in an Arab nation since the Soviet Union's dissolution. The area represents a point of significant mutual interest for both Egypt and Russia. Russia's leadership has been significantly influenced by the prospect of having a physical presence in new markets. It anticipates achieving the primary goal of its foreign economic strategy, which is to increase the share of non-primary exports in foreign trade. Egyptian-Russian negotiations on establishing the Russian Industrial Zone in Egypt began after the meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Sochi in 2014. Actual negotiations on establishing the zone commenced in August 2017. The 'pivotal project for Russian-Egyptian cooperation' offers residency in offices east of Port Said or branches of automotive, petrochemical, energy, pharmaceutical, and heavy construction materials companies. The special economic zone in Egypt is considered a launching pad for the expansion of Russian companies' business in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa. Egyptians view the Russian Industrial Zone as a pioneering project within the Suez Canal Economic Zone. Investments in the Russian Industrial Zone will amount to $4.6 billion. Named 'Sun City', it will be built on an area of 2,000 hectares. The city is located on the Egyptian Mediterranean coast, near the Suez Canal, through which 20 percent of global trade passes. The spirit of Russia will be infused into this industrial city, as it will be built in a semi-circular shape and will consist of two sections: an eastern section named 'Moscow' and a western section named 'Saint Petersburg.' The land between the two sections will be named 'the Urals,' named after a mountain range located in the central region of Russia. There will also be a triangular-shaped entertainment area and park for the residents of this city to spend their leisure time.

Sisi, Putin agree to increase number of incoming Russian tourists
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agreed to increase the number of Russian tourists visiting Egypt, while promoting new Egyptian tourist attractions in Russia. The two leaders also underlined the importance of enhancing cooperation in the fields of energy, food security, mining, agriculture, and industry, as well as continuing coordination between the two countries in international forums, including in the BRICS. The remarks were made in a meeting held between Sisi and Putin on the sidelines of the Victory Day parade in Moscow, said Presidential Spokesman Mohamed El-Shennawy. The spokesman added that the two presidents held an expanded session of talks, where the Russian leader expressed appreciation of Sisi's participation in the Victory Day parade this year, which reflects the strong and historical relations between the two countries and their peoples. On his part, President Sisi greeted the Russian president and people on the Victory Day anniversary, lauding the strategic relations with Russia that are based on the comprehensive strategic partnership agreement signed in 2018. President Sisi also extolled the significant momentum in Egyptian-Russian ties in various areas, citing a project to build an industrial zone in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) and a project to construct the Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant west of Alexandria. The pair expressed hope for the success of the 15th session of the Russian-Egyptian intergovernmental commission on trade, economic, scientific, and technical cooperation to be held in Moscow on May 12-14, which will address ways of fostering cooperation in all fields of common concern.

In this regard, President Sisi reviewed the efforts made by Egypt to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and exchange Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, as well as allowing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Palestinian enclave to end the humanitarian crisis. The Egyptian president called for finding a final solution to the Palestinian issue, through establishing a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, as being the only way to achieve lasting peace in the region. For his part, the Russian president expressed great appreciation of Egypt's role in the region, affirming Russia's full support for Cairo's endeavors to restore calm and bring about regional stability, as well as its backing of the Arab plan for Gaza reconstruction.
