Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussed the consequences of regional tensions for the safety of international navigation, global trade and grain supplies with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty at a meeting on the sidelines of the Sir Bani Yas International Forum on Peace and Security in the United Arab Emirates, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday.
"During the meeting the consequences of regional tensions for the safety of international navigation and global trade were discussed, as well as their impact on food security and grain supply chains," the statement read.
Abdelatty emphasized the need to step up international efforts on ensuring the freedom of navigation and safety of maritime routes to maintain uninterrupted trade and supplies of goods of strategic importance.
The parties also discussed bilateral relations. The Egyptian minister stressed the importance of strategic partnership between Cairo and Moscow and recalled the meeting of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the third Russia-Africa Summit in October.
