Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the Arab Republic of Egypt Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
In light of the common understanding for the need to ensure the highest security standards for Russian citizens in Egypt, as well as Russia’s suspension of flight connections with Egypt, the heads of state agreed to instruct the two nations’ corresponding agencies to maintain active cooperation, including by coordinating actions between Russian and Egyptian security agencies and aviation authorities.
Vladimir Putin and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi noted that all of these actions are aimed toward ensuring the overall efficacy of security measures taken by the Egyptian authorities at the nation’s airports.
The leaders expressed hope that conditions for resuming normal air travel between the two countries will be created very soon.
