Egypt, Russia Mark 61 Years Since Nile Diversion for High Dam

Pasant Elzaitony The Egyptian-Russian Friendship Association, led by Ibrahim Kamel, held a commemorative event in Cairo marking the 61st anniversary of the historic diversion of the Nile River during the construction of the High Dam, an iconic symbol of Egyptian-Soviet cooperation. The celebration was attended by representatives from the High Dam Builders Association, the Russian Cultural Centers in Egypt, and leading figures from both countries. In his remarks, Kamel emphasized the dam's enduring legacy as a symbol of national pride and international solidarity, confirming continued collaboration between Egyptian and Russian cultural institutions. Soviet engineer Valery Marchenko, who participated in building the dam, joined via video and shared heartfelt memories of the 1960s partnership. He recalled the emotional moment of diverting the Nile, friendships with Egyptian colleagues, receiving the Quran as a gift, and his connection to Egypt through music and shared sacrifice. 'Write to me, mother. I am in Egypt,' he quoted from a letter written by a fellow engineer. The event included performances of Russian folk songs, a photo exhibition honoring Soviet and Egyptian builders, and a screening of The Nile and the People, the Egyptian-Soviet film directed by Youssef Chahine, celebrating the spirit of cooperation that built the dam. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War
