"The ministry has completed [negotiation] of a construction contract, considered one of the most important contracts within the nuclear power plant’s project consisting of four documents, which will be signed with the Russian Rosatom company," Shaker said, as quoted by the Infirad newspaper.

It is set to become the largest construction project carried out by Russia and Egypt since the Aswan Dam.
