KAZAN, Russia (Sputnik) - Egypt is participating in the 16th BRICS Summit in Russia's Kazan. The country joined the association in January, along with Ethiopia, the UAE, Iran, and Saudi Arabia; the latter has not formalized membership but is participating at BRICS meetings.
Egypt sees a breakthrough that BRICS achieves by uniting in the interests of all its members, including in trade, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Russia's Kazan.

“We see also the breakthrough that BRICS achieves in the interests of all its members regardless of any pressures, particularly in trade relations. Especially between Egypt and Russia," el-Sisi said.

El-Sisi noted that Egypt highly appreciates Russia's support for the country's accession to BRICS, adding that he also appreciates the dynamic development of relations with Moscow, especially the construction of a nuclear power plant and the establishment of a Russian industrial zone in the Suez Canal area.
