“We believe that the spiritual ties between Russia and Egypt are very important, especially since they first emerged in the areas of cooperation that exist between the countries,” the diplomat said.
He recalled that Islam arrived in the modern territory of the Russian Republic of Dagestan in the 8th century, only a century later than in Egypt.
In his words, the spiritual thread that unites our peoples certainly helps today to develop close interaction and strengthen mutual understanding between countries.
He stressed that Muslims in Russia and Egypt “are on the same page and find close mutual understanding, which translates into cooperation between our peoples as a whole.”
Noting that “many Egyptians are happy to travel to republics and regions of Russia where many Muslims live, for example to Tatarstan,” he emphasized that this helps strengthen mutual understanding between peoples and contributes to the development of cooperation between Egypt and Russia. . .
