Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday spoke over the phone with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah Al Sisi and praised Cairo’s mediation for achieving a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel.


According to a Kremlin statement, Putin also commended the role of other countries that contributed to sealing the deal, Anadolu Agency reported.

They also "thoroughly reviewed" different aspects of bilateral relations in areas such as trade, agriculture and humanitarian efforts, as well as the implementation of joint projects, including the construction of Egypt's first nuclear power plant, El Dabaa, and the creation of a Russian industrial zone in the Suez Canal area.
