Besides the industrial zone, a Russian-style nuclear power plant in the northern coastal town of El Dabaa also has started its construction, according to Lavrov.

The diplomat praised the work of intergovernmental commissions on trade and economic and defense industry cooperation.

Russia was ready to boost coordination with Egypt on various multilateral platforms for maintaining peace and security in the Middle East, added Lavrov.
